Subject: [PATCH] journald: do not strip leading whitespace from messages
Keep leading whitespace for compatibility with older syslog
implementations. Also useful when piping formatted output to the
`logger` command. Keep removing trailing whitespace.
Tested with `pstree | logger` and checking that the output of
`journalctl | tail` included aligned and formatted output.
Confirmed that all test cases still pass as expected.

Resolves: #1227396
