Feature: history / status

[shawn111]

Description

Comtrya is awesome, it is so flexible compare to other dotfile managers.
Could we have some methods to measure what manifests status in machine?

Additional information

Something like dnf history:

I think we could easily write something like a history or add an adapter framework to write the history to "SQLite", "file", ...

Takes a bit of brainstorming, but could be a cool feature. We have to be aware of redacting secrets and other sensitive information.

@icepuma #407

I added tracing_journald support.
It allows linux users (systemd) to review specific manifest or action logs.

╰─❯ journalctl -t comtrya F_MANIFEST=github -p 5

╰─❯ journalctl -t comtrya F_MANIFEST=github -p 4

For manifest status and long term, I like the db or files framework idea that works for all platforms.
