Rainer Gerhards 0082a418ce tests: harden imjournal basic flake handling
Why:
Improve reliability of the imjournal basic test under CI timing
variance and journal churn, reducing non-actionable failures.

Impact: imjournal basic tests become more resilient and may skip
when host journal load is excessive.

Before/After: test could fail due to startup/noise races; now it
waits for readiness, retries under noise, and reports cleaner errors.

Technical Overview:
- Added a readiness probe phase in imjournal-basic before the real
  assertion message to avoid IgnorePreviousMessages startup races.
- Added short retry logic for high recent journal volume and skip
  only after retries are exhausted.
- Added tunables for noise window, threshold, retries, and sleep.
- Updated journal_print to write newline-terminated records and
  explicitly fflush/fclose so writes are durably handed to journald.
- Updated content_check_with_count to treat missing output file as
  not-yet-done until the test hard deadline, then fail.
- Improved failure diagnostics for missing output file to avoid
  secondary shell errors that obscure the primary failure.

/* A testing tool that tries to emit message given as argument
* to the journal, and, if succceds (at least per journald retcode).
* If whole operation is successful there is need to actually check
* that message is present in journal (also veryfing journal read perms)
*
* Retcodes: 0 - success
* 1 - wrong arguments (expects exactly one)
* 2 - failed to open journal for writing
* 3 - failed to actually write message to journal
