AMLII-2249 - fortify log tailer pipeline for journald and windows events

[ddrthall]

What does this PR do?

Explicitly prevent the journald and windows event tailers from being routed through a line handler

Motivation

The two tailers being modified receive no functional benefit from routing through a line handler, and may be errantly marked as Truncated if they ever are. Making an explicit no-op handler both increases the clarity of the code and reduces the chance for unfortunate and unforeseen side effects.

Describe how you validated your changes

Existing automated tests already verify that a message can be cleanly passed from the tailer all the way through the decoder. Additional sanity checking was performed to guarantee that over-large messages were not subject to (invalid) truncation labels and were successfully able to pass through the pipe.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

• ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
• ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
• ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
