journalctl: add option to forgo ellipsization
Sometimes it is better to see messages in full, and the existing
set of options didn't allow this easily. E.g. now
journalctl -f --full
will behave like
tail -f /var/log/messages
of yore.
Long option only for now, since small letters are becoming
scarce, and this doesn't feel like a capital-letter-option.
'-u' would be nice, and the above command would be spelled
journalctl -fu
