commit a4c41bf3fa905c38e6e4d159c13eed890d53838b

pager: always override LESS
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868383">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868383</a>
Primary reason to do this is to ensure "-e" works as intended, and is
not ignored because the user set his own LESS variable.
I used to run LESS=R journalctl -ab (or LESS=RS, or ...) to change the behavior
of the piper to my needs. Mainly allowing me to use my mouse wheel to scroll
faster through the logs. With systemd 198, I am unable to override LESS to
achieve that goal.
As a workaround, I can use journalctl -ab | less -R, but then I lose colors.
Please allow overriding LESS again, fixing bug
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868383">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868383</a> can be done by educating the
user not to do stupid things with $LESS and/or by checking whether $LESS is
empty or not.</pre>
