journal: include kmsg lines from the systemd process which exec()d us (#8078)
Let the journal capture messages emitted by systemd, before it ran exec("/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald"). Usually such messages will only appear with `systemd.log_level=debug`. kmsg lines written after the exec() will be ignored as before. In other words, we are avoiding reading our own lines, which start "systemd-journald[100]: " assuming we are PID 100. But now we will start allowing ourself to read lines which start "systemd[100]: ", or any other prefix which is not "systemd-journald[100]: ". So this can't help you see messages when we fail to exec() journald :). But, it makes it easier to see what the pre-exec() messages look like in the successful case. Comparing messages like this can be useful when debugging. Noticing weird omissions of messages, otoh, makes me anxious.
