Subject: [PATCH] Fixes #365 - Add tail command to show recent service logs

Add a new foremanctl tail command as an alternative to foreman-tail.
It uses journalctl to show recent logs from all Foreman services
(foreman, dynflow, pulp, candlepin, httpd, redis, postgresql).

Supports --service to filter specific services and --lines to
control how many recent lines to display (default 50).

Only services that are actually running are included in the output.
