* The D-Bus "wire format" for CPUAffinity attribute is changed on
big-endian machines. Before, bytes were written and read in native
machine order as exposed by the native libc __cpu_mask interface.
Now, little-endian order is always used (CPUs 07 are described by
bits 07 in byte 0, CPUs 815 are described by byte 1, and so on).
This change fixes D-Bus calls that cross endianness boundary.
The presentation format used for CPUAffinity by systemctl show and
systemd-analyze dump is changed to present CPU indices instead of the
raw __cpu_mask bitmask. For example, CPUAffinity=0-1 would be shown
as CPUAffinity=03000000000000000000000000000… (on little-endian) or
CPUAffinity=00000000000000300000000000000… (on 64-bit big-endian),
and is now shown as CPUAffinity=0-1, matching the input format. The
maximum integer that will be printed in new format is 8191 (four
digits), while the old format always used a very long number (with
the length varying by architecture), so they can be unambiguously
distinguished.
* /usr/sbin/halt.local is no longer supported. Implementation in
distributions was inconsistent and it seems this functionality was
very rarely used.

* When a [Match] section in .link or .network file is empty (contains
no match patterns), a warning will be emitted. Please add any "match
all" pattern instead, e.g. OriginalName=* or Name=* if case all
all" pattern instead, e.g. OriginalName=* or Name=* in case all
interfaces should really be matched.
