feature/changelog: Fix for missing changelogs at backend.
Problem:
       A few changelog files are missing at the backend
       during snapshot with changelog enabled.
Cause:
       Race between actual rollover and explicit rollover.
       Changelog rollover can happen either due to actual
       or the explict rollover due to snapshot. Actual
       rollover is controlled by tuneable called rollover-time.
       The minimum granularity for rollover-time is 1 second
       Explicit rollover is asynchronous in nature and happens
       during snapshot.
       Basically, rollover renames the current CHANGELOG file
       to CHANGELOG.TIMESTAMP after rollover-time. Let's assume,
       at time 't1', actual and explicit rollover raced against
       each other and actual rollover won the race renaming the
       CHANGELOG file to CHANGELOG.t1 and opens a new
       CHANGELOG file. An immediate explicit rollover at time
       't1' happened with in the same second to rename
       CHANGELOG file to CHANGELOG.t1 resulting in purging the
       earlier CHANGELOG.t1 file created by actual rollover.
Solution:
       Adding a delay of 1 sec guarantees unique CHANGELOG.TIMESTAMP
       during explicit rollover.
Thanks Venky, for the all the help in root causing the issue.
