vmspawn,journal-remote: add journal forwarding disk usage options

Add options to vmspawn to configure journal-remote disk usage limits
when forwarding journal entries from the VM. These are passed through
as --max-use=, --keep-free=, --max-file-size=, and --max-files=
command-line arguments to systemd-journal-remote.

Add --max-use=, --keep-free=, --max-file-size=, and --max-files=
command-line options to systemd-journal-remote to allow overriding the
corresponding settings from the configuration file.

Add $SYSTEMD_JOURNAL_REMOTE_CONFIG_FILE environment variable support
to systemd-journal-remote. When set, the specified file is used
instead of the default configuration file and drop-in directories.
When set to the empty string or /dev/null, configuration file parsing
is skipped entirely. vmspawn sets this to /dev/null in the child
process to avoid inheriting the host's journal-remote configuration.

Make fork_notify() argv parameter optional. When NULL is passed,
fork_notify() returns 0 in the child (with $NOTIFY_SOCKET set) and
lets the caller run custom code before exec. Returns 1 in the parent.
This allows vmspawn to set environment variables in the child without
polluting the parent process.
