journald/read: simplify walking backwards

In case Tail=N parameter is requested, we need to show N lines.
It does not make sense to walk backwards one by one if we can
do it at once. Now, if Since=T is also provided, make sure we
haven't jumped too far (before T), and if we did, move forward.

The primary motivation for this was to make the code simpler.

This also fixes a tiny bug in the "since" implementation.

Before this commit:
> $ docker logs -t --tail=6000 --since="2019-03-10T03:54:25.00" $ID | head
> 2019-03-10T03:54:24.999821000Z 95981

After:
> $ docker logs -t --tail=6000 --since="2019-03-10T03:54:25.00" $ID | head
> 2019-03-10T03:54:25.000013000Z 95982
