Public bug reported:
[Impact]
subiquity displays the curtin output by running curtin under systemd-cat.
curtin can produce pretty large amounts of output and can hit journald rate
limits, particularly when it fails (which is of course when you most want to
see the output!). We should disable the rate limit in the installer.squashfs.
[Test case]
I guess make a CD with a deliberately broken subiquity that causes curtin to
fail in a verbose way and ensure that all output is visible in subiquity's
"view full log" screen.
[Regression potential]
Having no rate limit increases the chances of running the live system out of
RAM if curtin is especially verbose I guess, but this would be an issue if we
were spooling the log output to a file too.
