Subject: [PATCH] journalctl: allow --file/--directory with --boot or

 --list-boots

It works mostly fine, and can be quite useful to examine data from another

system.

OTOH, a single boot id doesn't make sense with --merge, so mixing with --merge

is still not allowed.

(cherry picked from commit f3bd7561c54dea82b128d06f6b269a4951ae2855)

Resolves: #1463678
