Journal files have space allocated in 8MiB-aligned increments. This can add up to substantial wasted space as many archived journals accumulate without using all the allocated space. Let's truncate journal files to their actually used size when archiving them to reclaim this unused space. As the mmap cache is not thread-safe, we can't call journal_file_move_to_object() from the offline thread. Instead, we use journal_file_read_object() which doesn't rely on the mmap cache.
