Periodically call sd_journal_process in journalctl
If `journalctl` take a long time to process messages, and during that time journal file rotation occurs, a `journalctl` client will keep those rotated files open until it calls `sd_journal_process()`, which typically happens as a result of calling `sd_journal_wait()` below in the "following" case. By periodically calling `sd_journal_process()` during the processing loop we shrink the window of time a client instance has open file descriptors for rotated (deleted) journal files. **Warning** This change does not appear to solve the case of a "paused" output stream. If somebody is using `journalctl | less` and pauses the output, then without a background thread periodically listening for inotify delete events and cleaning up, journal logs will eventually stop flowing in cases where a journal client with enough open files causes the "free" disk space threshold to be crossed.
