PEL: Capture the journal in UserData sections

If a PEL message registry entry has a 'JournalCapture' section, capture
the listed portions of the journal in UserData sections for that error.

If the JSON looks like:

"JournalCapture": {
"NumLines": 30
}

Then the code will capture the previous 30 lines from the journal into a
single UserData section.

If the JSON looks like:

"JournalCapture":
{
"Sections": [
{
"SyslogID": "phosphor-bmc-state-manager",
"NumLines": 20
},
{
"SyslogID": "phosphor-log-manager",
"NumLines": 15
}
]
}

Then the code will create two UserData sections, the first with the most
recent 20 lines from phosphor-bmc-state-manager, and the second with 15
lines from phosphor-log-manager.

If a section would cause the PEL to exceed its maximum size of 16KB, it
will be dropped. While the UserData class does have a shrink() method,
it prunes data from the end, which would cause the most recent journal
entries to be removed, which could be misleading.

PEL: Create class to read from the journal

Create a Journal class that can extract messages out of the journal and
return them as a vector of strings that look like:

"Dec 14 15:58:17 systemd[1]: systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service: Deactivated
successfully."

It can either grab the previous N entries, or the previous N entries
that match a specific SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER value.

The class follows the same strategy as the DataInterface class where a
base class pointer is passed into the PEL Manager class so that during
unit test it can be mocked.

Future commits will capture the journal into PEL UserData sections.
