journal: fix access to munmapped memory in sd_journal_enumerate_unique
sd_j_e_u needs to keep a reference to an object while comparing it with possibly duplicate objects in other files. Because the size of mmap cache is limited, with enough files and object to compare to, at some point the object being compared would be munmapped, resulting in a segmentation fault. Fix this issue by turning keep_always into a reference count that can be increased and decreased. Other callers which set keep_always=true are unmodified: their references are never released but are ignored when the whole file is closed, which happens at some point. keep_always is increased in sd_j_e_u and later on released.
