set a maximum systemd journal size

We've noticed a trend with deploys where we seem to use up all of the
free space in the ramdisk, and this could distinctly be systemd.

While we're not logging it, we odn't need infinite logs either because
the default pattern is likely to consume quite a bit more space than we
would like to use.

As such, set a max size.
