This is useful for development where overwriting files out side
the configured prefix will affect the host as well as stateless
systems such as NixOS that don't let packages install to /etc but handle
configuration on their own.
Alternative to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/17501
tested with:
$ mkdir inst build && cd build
$ meson \
-Dcreate-log-dirs=false \
-Dsysvrcnd-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/rc.d \
-Dsysvinit-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/init.d \
-Drootprefix=$(realpath ../inst) \
-Dinstall-sysconfdir=false \
--prefix=$(realpath ../inst) ..
$ ninja install
Also, let's move the glue for this to src/shared/ so that we later can
reuse this in sysemd-firstboot.
Given that libpwquality is a more a leaf dependency, let's make it
runtime optional, so that downstream distros can downgrade their package
deps from Required to Recommended.
There's some highly specific PKCS#11 code in homectl.c. Let's split that
out, since it is easily isolatable, to make homectl.c a bit more
readable.
No funcional changes, just some moving around and renaming two functions
to make them more suitably named when exported.
