[Bug 1715719] [NEW] systemd v232+ journals aren't compatible with journalctrl from 229

[Ken VanDine]

Public bug reported:

systemd v232+ journals aren't compatible with journalctrl from 229

This normally isn't a problem, but in trying to create a snap for gnome-
logs I've run into a situation where we need to build the snap for 16.04
which has libsystemd0=229.  This snap works fine if the host is running
16.04 as well.  But on an artful host, the snap fails to access the
journal.  I've tested backporting v232 from zesty to xenial and building
my snap with libsystem0 232.  This works fine on 16.04 and 17.10 hosts.

@xnox suggested v232+ journals are built with more features enabled.
