Logging: Add a symlink for e.g. system.log to system_todaysdate.log for log parsing (https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/4993)

same same as dd6a04a68a, but different.
Concerns fixed in this commit:

o archive shouldn't generate files so old "archived" files remain untouched
o "latest.log" should point to the latest version know, which could be todays or a file from the past
o better to not remove links when unchanged to prevent excessive writes
