reopen 1.0.3

//! Example of reopening log file on SIGHUP
//!
//! This program keeps writing messages into a file `log.txt`. If it receives SIGHUP, it reopens
//! it.
//!
//! To demonstrate the effect:
//!
//! * Run the program.
//! * Observe `log.txt` appeared and it is growing.
//! * Move the `log.txt` to some other file (`mv log.txt log2.txt`).
//! * See that the file is still growing, even when under different name.
//! * Send `SIGHUP` to the program (`killall -SIGHUP reopen_log`).
//! * See `log2.txt` no longer grows, new `log.txt` appeared and grows.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! This relies on the `signals` feature.
