Drop libsystemd dependency

Desktop / GNOME / GLib - Matthias Clasen [redhat.com] - 22 July 2016 22:04 UTC

Talk to the journal ourselves using sendmsg() instead of linking against libsystemd for sd_journal_sendv(). At the same time, we can also avoid excessive copying.

The motivation for dropping the dependency is that we can then use structured logging e.g. in a flatpak sandbox where libsystemd may not be present in the runtime.

The code here is inspired by similar code in libvirt.
