dbus-daemon: add --syslog, --nosyslog, --syslog-only

Like --fork and --nofork, these override what the configuration says.

Use --syslog-only to force the systemd services to log to the Journal
(via syslog, which means we see the severity metadata) instead of
testing sd_booted() in the configuration implementation.
