Backport of moby#39969 to 19.03; clean cherry-pick, no issues. Original description follows.


In case jsonlogfile is used with max-file=1 and max-size set,
the log rotation is not performed; instead, the log file is closed
and re-opened with O_TRUNC.

This situation is not handled by the log reader in follow mode,
leading to an issue of log reader being stuck forever.

This situation (file close/reopen) could be handled in waitRead(),
but fsnotify library chose to not listen to or deliver this event
(IN_CLOSE_WRITE in inotify lingo) as it's not portable,
see fsnotify/fsnotify#252.

So, we have to handle this by checking the file size upon receiving
io.EOF from the log reader, and comparing the size with the one received
earlier. In case the new size is less than the old one, the file was
truncated and we need to seek to its beginning.

Fixes moby#39235. See the steps to verify in that issue.
