Port buffer file improvements from Serilog.Sinks.Seq

[nvivo]

Currently, this sink is using RollingFile as buffer, and it has some serious limitations, that whether the buffer file grows without limits, or the file is size-limited and the sink stops working after that. This is making the durable mode unusable with this sink.

I'm currently using the sink without durable mode, but this is a problem as some events may go missing for various reasons. The Seq sink had the same issues, and they were fixed on version 4.0. It would be great if these changes, that is datalust/serilog-sinks-seq#92 and datalust/serilog-sinks-seq#99 would be ported to this sink.

Is it possible to pay to get this implemented? Is anyone interested in resolving this?

Would love to have a better/improved version of the buffer, unfortunately too little time to implement. IMHO it would also be nice if this was a more generic Serilog buffer which would pick up events when the configured sink was unable to work.

I currently have this sink and the seq sink logging the same events. For some reason, I have lots of missing events in elastic search that are not logged nor reported in the failure sink/self log. I enabled the selflog, and eventually I get a few failures, but that is probably 1% of what is missing on elastic search.

I'm betting the lack of durable mode is the problem, but that's just a guess. I'll try to debug this at some point.

Old issue, cleaning up. There have been some improvement. Still facing this issue, feel free to reopen.
