imfile: update doc based on refactoring changes/enhancements

This is work in progress - I will add new TODO items as they happen during the refactoring project. Some may disappear later if they are considered to be a bad idea ;-)

The plan is to create a single rsyslog-doc PR once the refactoring is done. So this is primarily a living reminder item. Do NOT begin to depend on or document anything that can be seen here!

New Features

  • poll mode now also offers all features

New Module Params

canonicalizePathes

always start at root ("on" probably the default)

Discussion Topics

  • what shall we do if more than one file monitor picks up the same file (misconfiguration? If so, hard to detect...)

sounds good :-) I hope to get some of the missing refactoring into it.
