Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen bb31a4ac19 man: typo fixes
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890

Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more
than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown"
to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit

Tom Gundersen f51356b462 vconsole: default to the kernel compiled-in font
No longer override the default kernel font if nothing is specified in
vconsole.conf.

The default kernel font[0] provides ISO-8859-1 and box characters. Users
of Arabic, Cyrilic or Hebrew must set a different font manually as these
character sets were provided by the old default font [1], but are not
any longer.

Rationale:

 * it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different
   from adding FONT="";
 * the version of the default font shipped with Arch (which is the
   upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[2] (which should
   admittedly be fixed in the font itself);
 * the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to
   use that unless anything else is specified;
 * This also avoids a needless slow call to setfont; and
 * We don't want to work around problems in the kernel (in case the
   compiled-in font is not acceptable for whatever reason).

Make sure the man page titles are similar in style and capitalization so
that our man page index looks pretty.

Lennart Poettering 5430f7f2bc relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.

Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.

The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.

The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
