    journalctl,loginctl: drop systemd- prefix in binary names · 169c4f65

    Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for
    journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat.
    
    All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the
    exception of the three primary user interface binaries:
    
    systemctl
    loginctl
    journalctl
    
    For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks:
    
    systemd-systemctl → systemctl
    systemd-loginctl → loginctl
    systemd-journalctl → journalctl
    
    We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid
    unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify
    stay the way they are.
