Lucas Werkmeister eda8c27fea man: fix journalctl --new-id128 option name (#5786)
--new-id works because it’s an unambiguous prefix, but the full option
name is --new-id128.

(#5381 did the same in one other manpage, but I didn’t check for other
manpages using the abbreviated version back then.)

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_randomize()</function> generates a new
randomized 128-bit ID and returns it in
<parameter>ret</parameter>. Every invocation returns a new
randomly generated ID. This uses the
<filename>/dev/urandom</filename> kernel random number
generator.</para>
<para>Note that <function>sd_id128_randomize()</function> always
returns a UUID v4-compatible ID.</para>
<para>For more information about the <literal>sd_id128_t</literal>
type, see

<para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
<option>--new-id128</option> option may be used as a command line

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>The call returns 0 on success (in which case
<parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in), or a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
