Subject: Rotate logs only when there are actual operations

Currently it rotates the log files every time it boots into the recovery
mode. We lose useful logs after ten times. This CL changes the rotation
condition so that it will rotate only if it performs some actual
operations that modify the flash (installs, wipes, sideloads and etc).
