log: Add support for the systemd journal
The journal is a component of systemd, that captures Syslog messages, Kernel log messages, initial RAM disk and early boot messages as well as messages written to STDOUT/STDERR of all services, indexes them and makes this available to the user. It can be used in parallel, or in place of a traditional syslog daemon, such as rsyslog or syslog-ng. The journal offers a couple of improvements over traditional logging facilities (e.g. advanced filtering capabilities). This patch adds support for logging directly to the journal using its native API.
