scanlogs: remove special handling of expire.log

[Florian Schlichting]

Hi,

in the course of looking at the OLD/expire.log.0 bug, I wondered why
expire.log would need to be handled specially at all. Turns out there is
no need, and expire.log is rotated just the same without special
mention (see patch below).

BTW has anybody ever thought about replacing scanlogs entirely? I think
it got its name because it used to do what innreport does much better
nowadays, and I wonder if the remainder wasn't better cared for using a
standard program such as logrotate?
