A container may log to the journal (hq ADR 0179)

A jail reads a log; a container's output went to a file of the runtime's own under a path that
changes on recreate, so no jail could read a container's service. logging: journald runs the
container with the journal as its driver, named in the spec so moving it recreates it; any other
place is refused.
