man: systemctl: document effect of --all on journal output
Based on the journalctl documentation of this option added in 23ad99b519 (#10527), but with the first reference to “fields” replaced by “journal messages”, since I think it’s less common to show other fields with `systemctl status` (though it’s possible with the `-o` option).
