Bug#842301: autopkgtest: please capture the testbed's systemd Journal if present



Package: autopkgtest
Version: 4.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

When testing system-level things, the test's stdout/stderr don't always
tell the full story: after a failure, it's often useful to read the
logs of the service under test (and related services). Since many recent
Debian-based systems use systemd, we have an easy way to gather
all the logs at once.

When running the test "foo", the attached patch adds "foo-journal"
in the results directory alongside "foo-stdout", if "journalctl --boot=-0"
produces output. If the test involves reboots, it also adds
"foo-journal-reboot1", "foo-journal-reboot2" and so on.
