journalctl: show duplicate entries if they are from the same file (#14898)

When having a service which intentionally outputs multiple equal lines,
all these messages might be inserted with the same timestamp.

journalctl has a mechanism to avoid duplicate lines, which might be in
different journal files.

This patch allows duplicate lines, if they are from the same file.
