journalctl: remove ":" from the --boot syntax

Instead of :-0, :1, :5, etc., use -0, 1 or +1, 5, etc. For BOOT_ID+OFFSET,
use BOOT_ID+offset or BOOT_ID-offset (either + or - is required).

Also make error handling a bit more robust and verbose.
Modify the man page to describe the most common case (-b) first,
and the second most common case (-b -1) second.

<para>The argument is a 128 bit ID given in
short or UUID form and optionally followed by
<literal>:n</literal> which identifies the nth
boot relative to the boot ID given to the left
of <literal>:</literal>. Supplying a negative
value for n will look for a past boot and a
positive value for a future boot. The boot IDs
are searched for in chronological order. If no
number is provided after <literal>:</literal>,
<literal>-1</literal> is assumed. A value of 0
is valid and equivalent to omitting
<literal>:0</literal>.</para>
<para>The argument may be empty, in which case
logs for the current boot will be shown.</para>
<para>Alternatively, the argument may constist
only of <literal>:n</literal>. In this case, a
positive value will look up the nth boot
starting from the beginning of the jouranl, a
negative value will look up a previous boot
relative to the current boot. <literal>:0</literal>
will look for the current boot ID. Thus,
<literal>:1</literal> is the first boot found in
the journal, <literal>:2</literal> the second
and so on; while <literal>:-1</literal> is the
previous boot, <literal>:-2</literal> the boot
before that and so on. Omitting a value after
<literal>:</literal> will look for the previous
boot.</para></listitem>
<para>If the boot ID is omitted, a positive
<replaceable>offset</replaceable> will look up
the boots starting from the beginning of the
journal, and a equal-or-less-than zero
<replaceable>offset</replaceable> will look up
boots starting from the end of the
journal. Thus, <constant>1</constant> means the
first boot found in the journal in the
chronological order, <constant>2</constant> the
second and so on; while <constant>-0</constant>
is the last boot, <constant>-1</constant> the
boot before that, and so on. An empty
<replaceable>offset</replaceable> is equivalent
to specifying <constant>-0</constant>, except
when the current boot is not the last boot
(e.g. because <option>--directory</option> was
specified to look at logs from a different
machine).</para>
<para>If the 32 character
<replaceable>ID</replaceable> is specified, it
may optionally be followed by
<replaceable>offset</replaceable> which
identifies the boot relative to the one given by
boot <replaceable>ID</replaceable>. Negative
values mean earlier boots and a positive values
mean later boots. If
<replaceable>offset</replaceable> is not
specified, a value of zero is assumed and the
logs for the boot given by
<replaceable>ID</replaceable> are shown.
