Apparently some firmwares don't allow us to write this token, and refuse
it with EINVAL. We should normally consider that a fatal error, but not
really in the case of "bootctl random-seed" when called from the
systemd-boot-system-token.service since it's called as "best effort"
service after boot on various systems, and hence we shouldn't fail
loudly.
Similar, when we cannot find the ESP don't fail either, since there are
systems (arch install ISOs) that carry a boot loader capable of the
random seed logic but don't mount it after boot.
Fixes: #13603
This makes the naming more consistent: we now have
bootctl systemd-efi-options,
$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS
and the SystemdOptions EFI variable.
(SystemdEFIOptions would be redundant, because it is only used in the context
of efivars, and users don't interact with that name directly.)
bootctl is adjusted to use 2sp indentation, similarly to systemctl and other
programs.
Remove the prefix with the old name from 'bootctl systemd-efi-options' output,
since it's redundant and we don't want the old name anyway.
This cleans up and unifies the outut of --help texts a bit:
1. Highlight the human friendly description string, not the command
line via ANSI sequences. Previously both this description string and
the brief command line summary was marked with the same ANSI
highlight sequence, but given we auto-page to less and less does not
honour multi-line highlights only the command line summary was
affectively highlighted. Rationale: for highlighting the description
instead of the command line: the command line summary is relatively
boring, and mostly the same for out tools, the description on the
other hand is pregnant, important and captions the whole thing and
hence deserves highlighting.
2. Always suffix "Options" with ":" in the help text
3. Rename "Flags" → "Options" in one case
4. Move commands to the top in a few cases
5. add coloring to many more help pages
6. Unify on COMMAND instead of {COMMAND} in the command line summary.
Some tools did it one way, others the other way. I am not sure what
precisely {} is supposed to mean, that uppercasing doesn't, hence
let's simplify and stick to the {}-less syntax
And minor other tweaks.
For executables which take a verb, we should list the verbs first, and
then options which modify those verbs second. The general layout of
the man page is from general description to specific details, usually
Overview, Commands, Options, Return Value, Examples, References.
I want to use efivars.[ch] in proc-cmdline.c, but most of the efivars stuff is
not needed in basic/. Move the file from shared/ to basic/, but then move back
most of the higher-level functions to the new shared/efi-loader.c file.
I have an .efi image with embedded newlinews. Now I don't even remember if it
was created for testing or by accident, but it doesn't really matter. We should
display such files correctly.
(This isn't a problem with normal BLS entries, because input is split into lines
so newlines are consumed.)
The reasoning is the same as in previous cases. We get an error like
"Failed to update EFI variable: Operation not permitted" anyway, so
the check is not very useful.

I think this is more useful (because it's easy to stick the path into an editor command
when one wants to change the options or inspect the files), and more self-explanatory.

Previously, bootctl would show boot loader entries discovered by the
boot loader which couldn't found locally separately in the output.
Let's move this code into bootspec.c, and beef it up a bit. This way we
can use it later on for logind, and correctly show automatically
discovered windows/macos entries too.
Previously, when we'd copy an individual file we'd synthesize a
user.crtime_usec xattr with the source's creation time if we can
determine it. As the creation/birth time was until recently not
queriable form userspace this effectively just propagated the same xattr
on the source to the same xattr on the destination. However, current
kernels now allow to query the birthtime using statx() and we do make
use of that now. Which means that suddenly we started synthesizing these
xattrs much more regularly.
Doing this actually does make sense, but only in very few cases:
not for the typical regular files we copy, but certainly when dealing
with disk images. Hence, let's keep this kind of propagation, but let's
make it a flag and default to off. Then turn it on whenever we deal with
disk images, and leave it off otherwise.
This is particularly relevant as overlayfs combining a real fs, and a
tmpfs on top will result in EOPNOTSUPP when it is attempted to open a
file with xattrs for writing, as tmpfs does not support xattrs, and
hence the copy-up cannot work. Hence, let's avoid synthesizing this
needlessly, to increase compat with overlayfs.
