The io.systemd.JournalAccess server occasionally returns NoEntries for a
unit-filter query right after the unit logged its message, e.g. from a
failing CI run:
[ 1204.967910] TEST-04-JOURNAL.sh[15025]: ++ varlinkctl call --more /run/systemd/io.systemd.JournalAccess io.systemd.JournalAccess.GetEntries '{"units": ["test-journalctl-varlink-1-13583.service", "test-journalctl-varlink-2-25039.service"]}'

Wrap the calls that expect data in a helper that retries up to 3 times on
NoEntries, syncing the journal between attempts.
