journalctl: be smarter about journal error checks
There are many ways in which we can get those checks wrong, so it is better to warn and then error out on a real access failure. The error messages are wrapped to <80 lines, because their primary use is to be displayed in the terminal, and it is easier to read them this way. Reading them in the journal can be a bit trickier, but this is a bug in logs-show.c.
