`custom_field` implied that the user could set this to anything; instead, the fields here have to be valid journal fields.

This is harmless. We don't need to go way out of our way to prevent the user from deliberately sending strange things to journald. |

Yep, this LGTM so I expect @hawkw will merge once they have time to skim it. |

@Ralith Had to fix the doctest, might need a CI retrigger |

## Motivation It's currently not possible to customize how messages will get send to journald. This became apparent in #2425, where first a specific API got designed, but then it was decided that users should not get restricted in only a subset of fields, but should be able to simply choose by themselves what fields get set with what values. So in a sense, this is the successor/rework of #2425. ## Solution Allow custom fields to be set in tracing-journald. ## Open Questions - [x] How should we deal with fields that also get supplied by other options? For example, setting `SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER` here and also setting `.with_syslog_identifier()` will send said field twice, potentially with differing values. Is that a problem? - Answer: No, this is not a problem. Closes #2425

Motivation
It's currently not possible to customize how messages will get send to journald.
This became aparent in #2425, where first a specific API got designed, but then it was decided that users should not get restricted in only a subset of fields, but should be able to simply choose by themselves what fields get set with what values.
So in a sense, this is the successor/rework of #2425.
Solution
Allow custom fields to be set in tracing-journald.
Open Questions
SYSLOG_IDENTIFIERhere and also setting.with_syslog_identifier()will send said field twice, potentially with differing values. Is that a problem?
