anti bf4afac70f fix: RotatingFileHandler reopens on external deletion/rotation
Mirrors the inode-check fix from 935a9a5 (collector worker) for the
stdlib-handler-based log paths. Both decnet.system.log (config.py) and
decnet.log (logging/file_handler.py) now use a subclass that stats the
target path before each emit and reopens on inode/device mismatch —
matching the behavior of stdlib WatchedFileHandler while preserving
size-based rotation.

Previously: rm decnet.system.log → handler kept writing to the orphaned
inode until maxBytes triggered; all lines between were lost.

"""
RotatingFileHandler that detects external deletion or rotation.
Stdlib ``RotatingFileHandler`` holds an open file descriptor for the
lifetime of the handler. If the target file is deleted (``rm``) or
rotated out (``logrotate`` without ``copytruncate``), the handler keeps
writing to the now-orphaned inode until its own size-based rotation
finally triggers — silently losing every line in between.
Stdlib ``WatchedFileHandler`` solves exactly this problem but doesn't
rotate by size. This subclass combines both: before each emit we stat
the configured path and compare its inode/device to the currently open
file; on mismatch we close and reopen.
Cheap: one ``os.stat`` per log record. Matches the pattern used by
``decnet/collector/worker.py:_reopen_if_needed``.
