also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
glibc/glib both use "out of memory" consistantly so maybe we should
consider that instead of this.
Eliminates one string out of a number of binaries. Also fixes extra newline
in udev/scsi_id
There are other reasons for not opening the pager then the --no-pager
or --follow options (described below). If the pager is not used,
messages must be ellipsized.

If a pager is used, ellipsization is redundant — the pager does
that better by hiding the part that cannot be shown. Pager's advantage
is that the user can press → to view the hidden part of a message,
and then ← to return.
Previously, when the main data hash table grows too full the performance
simply started to decrease drastically. Instead, now simply rotate to a
new journal file as the hash table gets to full, so that we can start
with a new fresh empty hash table.
we now can take multiple matches, and they will apply as AND if they
apply to different fields and OR if they apply to the same fields. Also,
terms of this kind can be combined with an overreaching OR.
There's now sd_journal_new_directory() for watching specific journal
directories. This is exposed in journalctl -D.
sd_journal_wait() and sd_journal_process() now return whether changes in
the journal are invalidating or just appending.
We now create inotify kernel watches only when we actually need them
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
