podman logs k8s-file: do not reassemble partial log lines

The backend should not convert partial lines to full log lines. While
this works for most cases it cannot work when the last line is partial
since it will just be lost. The frontend logic can already display
partial lines correctly. The journald driver also works correctly since
it does not such conversion.

Fixes #14458
