Lennart Poettering eb86030ec0 sd-journal: add an API to enumerate known field names of the journal
This adds two new calls to get the list of all journal fields names currently in use.

This is the low-level support to implement the feature requested in #2176 in a more optimized way.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>sd-journal.h</filename> provides APIs to submit
and query log entries. The APIs exposed act both as client for the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
journal service and as parser for the journal files on disk.
