journalctl: add --list-invocations command and -I/--invocation options

The --list-invocations command is similar to --list-boots, but shows
invocation IDs of specified unit. This should be useful when showing
a specific invocation of a unit.

The --invocation option is similar to --boot, but takes a invocation ID
or an offset. The -I option is equivalent to --invocation=0.

<para>A positive <replaceable>offset</replaceable> will look up the invocations of a systemd unit
from the beginning of the journal, and zero or a negative offset will look up invocations starting
from the end of the journal. Thus, <constant>1</constant> means the first invocation found in the
journal in chronological order, <constant>2</constant> the second and so on; while
<constant>0</constant> is the latest invocation, <constant>-1</constant> the invocation before the
latest, and so on.</para>
<para>If the 32-character <replaceable>ID</replaceable> is specified, it may optionally be followed
by <replaceable>±offset</replaceable> which identifies the invocation relative to the one given by
invocation <replaceable>ID</replaceable>. Negative values mean earlier invocations and positive
values mean later invocations. If <replaceable>±offset</replaceable> is not specified, a value of
zero is assumed, and the logs for the invocation given by <replaceable>ID</replaceable> will be
shown.</para>
<para><option>-I</option> is equivalent to <option>--invocation=0</option>, and logs for the latest
invocation will be shown.</para>
<para>When an offset is specified, a unit name must be specified with <option>-u/--unit=</option>

<para>When specified with <option>-b/--boot=</option>, then invocations are searched within the
