journald: fix space limits reporting
Reporting of the free space was bogus, since the remaining space was compared with the maximum allowed, instead of the current use being compared with the maximum allowed. Simplify and fix by reporting limits directly at the point where they are calculated. Also, assign a UUID to the message.
