journald: avoid NSS in journald

In order to avoid a deadlock between journald looking up the
"systemd-journal" group name, and nscd (or anyother NSS backing daemon)
logging something back to the journal avoid all NSS in journald the same
way as we avoid it from PID 1.

With this change we rely on the kernel file system logic to adjust the
group of created journal files via the SETGID bit on the journal
directory. To ensure that it is always set, even after the user created
it with a simply "mkdir" on the shell we fix it up via tmpfiles on boot.
