sd-journal: when formatting log messages, implicitly strip trailing whitespace
When converting log messages from human readable text into binary records to send off to journald in sd_journal_print(), strip trailing whitespace in the log message. This way, handling of logs made via syslog(), stdout/stderr and sd_journal_print() are treated the same way: trailing (but not leading) whitespace is automatically removed, in particular \n and \r. Note that in case of syslog() and stdout/stderr based logging the stripping takes place server-side though, while for the native protocol based transport this takes place client-side. This is because in the former cases conversion from free-form human-readable strings into structured, binary log records takes place on the server-side while for journal-native logging it happens on the client side, and after conversion into binary records we probably shouldn't alter the data anymore. See: #3416
