newsyslog.conf(5): use "rotated" instead of "trimmed"

The man page used "trimmed" to describe log rotation, which is
misleading as it suggests the file is truncated to a specific
size rather than being rotated (renamed and a new file created).
Replace all instances of "trimmed" with "rotated" to match the
actual behavior and the terminology used elsewhere in the page.
