systemctl: stop showing last message from previous run

--lines=1 means that we show the last message about the unit, whatever it is:

$ SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemctl --verbose start demo2
...
Invoking 'journalctl -q --follow --no-pager --lines=1 --synchronize-on-exit=yes --unit=demo2.service' as child.

We obviously should only show _new_ messages, hence change to --lines=0.
This works properly after the fix in the previous commit.

Fixes #39048.
