Fix --tail log on restart problem

[rhatdan]

--tail=1 is not working f you restart a container with journald logging.

We see the exit status and then call into the logging a second time
causing all of the logs to print.

Removing the tail log on exited seems to fix the problem.

Fixes: #13098

If it passes tests and doesn't bring back #12263, it's fine.

Mostly LGTM, with a few nits, and one big question: should the new test conform to the existing convention of testing under both k8s-file and journald?

Actually, two questions: regardless of the answer to the above, I think skip_if_journald_unavailable might be needed to avoid the usual mad panic when this makes it into RHEL-land.

unused

Could you rename this message? Maybe "logs, after restart, should still only show last line"? Distinct error messages make it sooooo much easier to track down the exact failure.

[edsantiago]

New push addresses two of my nits. Can you, for posterity, at least comment on my other questions? I don't know where we stand these days on rootless RHEL journald.

[rhatdan]

I think we should test with both, if possible.

[edsantiago]

I'm interpreting that as a request for code:

function _log_test_tail() {
    local driver=$1

    run_podman run -d --log-driver=$driver $IMAGE sh -c "echo test1; echo test2"
    cid="$output"

    run_podman logs --tail 1 $cid
    is "$output" "test2"  "logs should only show last line"

    run_podman restart $cid

    run_podman logs --tail 1 $cid
    is "$output" "test2"  "logs should only show last line after restart"

    run_podman rm $cid
}

@test "podman logs - tail test, k8s-file" {
    _log_test_tail k8s-file
}

@test "podman logs - tail test, journald" {
    # We can't use journald on RHEL as rootless: rhbz#1895105
    skip_if_journald_unavailable

    _log_test_tail journald
}

[rhatdan]

@edsantiago Added your code.

[edsantiago]

LGTM assuming tests pass. FYI I ran new tests against main, and the k8s-file one passes root & rootless, journald fails root & rootless, which means both test and code are doing the right thing.
