UnitPath= is also writable via native units and may be used by generators
to clarify from which file a unit is generated. This patch also hooks up
the cryptsetup and fstab generators to set UnitPath= accordingly.
Instead of generic "Starting..." and "Started" messages for all unit use
type-dependent messages. For example, mounts will announce "Mounting..."
and "Mounted".
Add status messages to units of types that used to be entirely silent
(automounts, sockets, targets, devices). For unit types whose jobs are
instantaneous, report only the job completion, not the starting event.
Socket units with non-instantaneous jobs are rare (Exec*= is not used
often in socket units), so I chose not to print the starting messages
for them either.
This will hopefully give people better understanding of the boot.
The kernel will only notify us of cgroups running empty if no subcgroups
exist anymore. Hence make sure we don't leave our own control/ subcgroup
around longer than necessary.

Type=idle is much like Type=simple, however between the fork() and the
exec() in the child we wait until PID 1 informs us that no jobs are
left.
This is mostly a cosmetic fix to make gettys appear only after all boot
output is finished and complete.
Note that this does not impact the normal job logic as we do not delay
the completion of any jobs. We just delay the invocation of the actual
binary, and only for services that otherwise would be of Type=simple.
Previously, we were brutally and onconditionally killing all processes
in a service's cgroup before starting the service anew, in order to
ensure that StartPre lines cannot be misused to spawn long-running
processes.
On logind-less systems this has the effect that restarting sshd
necessarily calls all active ssh sessions, which is usually not
desirable.
With this patch control processes for a service are placed in a
sub-cgroup called "control/". When starting a service anew we simply
kill this cgroup, but not the main cgroup, in order to avoid killing any
long-running non-control processes from previous runs.

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.
