Instead of assuming that more-recently modified directories have higher mtime,
just look for any mtime changes, up or down. Since we don't want to remember
individual mtimes, hash them to obtain a single value.
This should help us behave properly in the case when the time jumps backwards
during boot: various files might have mtimes that in the future, but we won't
care. This fixes the following scenario:
We have /etc/systemd/system with T1. T1 is initially far in the past.
We have /run/systemd/generator with time T2.
The time is adjusted backwards, so T2 will be always in the future for a while.
Now the user writes new files to /etc/systemd/system, and T1 is updated to T1'.
Nevertheless, T1 < T1' << T2.
We would consider our cache to be up-to-date, falsely.

This only works with clang, unfortunately gcc doesn't seem to implement the check
(tested with gcc-8.2.1-5.fc29.x86_64).

Rather than passing a pointer to return the result, return it directly
from the function calls.
Also, return the result in native endianess, and let the callers care
about the conversion. For hash tables and bloom filters, we don't care,
but in order to keep MAC addresses and DHCP client IDs stable, we
explicitly convert to LE.
Change the "out" parameter from uint8_t[8] to uint64_t. On architectures which
enforce pointer alignment this fixes crashes when we previously cast an
unaligned array to uint64_t*, and on others this should at least improve
performance as the compiler now aligns these properly.
This also simplifies the code in most cases by getting rid of typecasts. The
only place which we can't change is struct duid's en.id, as that is _packed_
and public API, so we can't enforce alignment of the "id" field and have to
use memcpy instead.
Make the API of the new helpers more similar to the old wrapper.
In particular we now return the hash as a byte string to avoid
any endianness problems.
