gmessages: Treat DEBUG_INVOCATION=1 same as G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

systemd 257 will now set `DEBUG_INVOCATION=1` in the execution context
of services which need to be debugged — for example if they’ve failed
and been restarted (and `RestartMode=debug`).

If we handle `DEBUG_INVOCATION=1` as being equivalent to
`G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all`, then any processes using GLib’s default log
writer function (or `g_log_writer_default_would_drop()`) automatically
gains support for this feature.

It is recommended that custom log writer functions re-use the
`G_MESSAGES_DEBUG` environment variable, rather than inventing a custom one,
so that developers can re-use the same debugging techniques and tools across
projects. Since GLib 2.68, this can be implemented by dropping messages for
which `g_log_writer_default_would_drop()` returns `TRUE`.
