dev-manual: note on using journald without syslog

Browse Source 
journald is not a syslog provider, so using journald exclusively amounts
to just preventing a syslog provider from being specified on a system
where journald is active.

Various spots where this has popped up:
* https://stackoverflow.com/q/48746397
* https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/topic/82883035#53548

(From yocto-docs rev: aba38d5dc2db708ed6e8fc6dca4d869fe7fe855c)

Using systemd-journald without a traditional syslog daemon
----------------------------------------------------------
Counter-intuitively, ``systemd-journald`` is not a syslog runtime or provider,
and the proper way to use systemd-journald as your sole logging mechanism is to
effectively disable syslog entirely by setting these variables in your distribution
configuration file::
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_syslog = ""
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils-syslog = ""
Doing so will prevent ``rsyslog`` / ``busybox-syslog`` from being pulled in by
default, leaving only ``journald``.
