Subject: [PATCH] Reverse the contents of log files

Use "tac" to reverse files, meaning the logs are now output neatly in
reverse-chronological order.

The existing code tried to read everything in $webstump_home/.. ; we
now only try and open errs files; this involves changing the guard
condition to 0 from undef (since forwards * undef isn't undef).
