journal: loop less in MATCH_AND_TERM conditionals

AND term usually don't have many subterms (4 seems to be the maximum
sensible number, e.g. _BOOT_ID && _SYSTEMD_UNIT && _PID && MESSAGE_ID).
Nevertheless, the cost of checking each subterm can be relatively
high, especially when the nested terms are compound, and it
makes sense to minimize the number of checks.

Instead of looping to the end and then again over the whole list once
again after at least one term changed the offset, start the loop at
the term which caused the change. This way ½ terms in the AND match
are not checked unnecessarily again.
