journal: normalize priority of logging sources
The stream event source has a priority of SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL+5, and stdout source +10, but the native and syslog event sources are left at the default of 0. As a result, any heavy native or syslog logger can cause starvation of the other loggers. This is trivially demonstrated by running: dd if=/dev/urandom bs=8k | od | systemd-cat & # native spammer systemd-run echo hello & # stream logger journalctl --follow --output=verbose --no-pager --identifier=echo & ... and wait, and wait, the "hello" never comes. Now kill %1, "hello" arrives finally.
