Please review the attached patch for:

  * PKI TRAC Ticket #898 - Giant /var/log/pki-ca/debug
    <https://fedorahosted.org/pki/ticket/898>

It is basically a copy of the patch that was applied to Bugzilla Bug 
#1055080 - Giant /var/log/pki-ca/debug 
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055080> except it 
does*not* reset the CS.cfg 'debug.level=0' (log everything) to 
'debug.level=10' (log information only) since Fedora platform's primary 
usage is for development, and thus debug logs are used far more prevalently.

To test this patch:

  * Build a default CA using the patched source
  * Install the default CA using 'pkispawn'
  * Examine the '/var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug' file to reveal that
    it contains much content (debug.level=0)
  * Shutdown the CA
  * Edit '/etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg' and change 'debug.level=0' (log
    everything) to 'debug.level=10' (log information only)
  * Empty the CA 'debug' log by typing 'cat /dev/null >
    /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug'
  * Restart the CA
  * Examine the '/var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug' file to reveal that
    it contains minimal content (debug.level=10)
