Title:
  ~/.cache/upstart/ logs are not rotated often enough

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “upstart” source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * ~/.cache/upstart contains user session logs which are rotated upon
  login. But due to excellent hibernate & syspend/resume people can
  spend weeks without re-logging in. Thus those logs can grow
  uncontrollably.

  [Test Case]

   * Monitor logs in ~/.cache/upstart note how many of them can be uncompressed
   * With updated packages, those should be rotated every hour (17 minutes past the hour by default)

  [Regression Potential]

   * user session logrotation was already inplace, we are now adding one
  more start on condition to it, which is triggered via system
  cron.hourly
