The information about the unit for which files are being parsed
is passed all the way down. This way messages land in the journal
with proper UNIT=... or USER_UNIT=... attribution.
'systemctl status' and 'journalctl -u' not displaying those messages
has been a source of confusion for users, since the journal entry for
a misspelt setting was often logged quite a bit earlier than the
failure to start a unit.

Those functions were identical, apart from typos. Log message
is modified to contain the type of destination var (int, double,
...). I think this might make it easier to understand why a value
was rejected (e.g. a minus from an unsigned type).
Internally we store all time values in usec_t, however parse_usec()
actually was used mostly to parse values in seconds (unless explicit
units were specified to define a different unit). Hence, be clear about
this and name the function about what we pass into it, not what we get
out of it.
Some code really wants to know whether there was a string list parsed,
so don't take the shortcut here, and always allocate a string list, even
if it is an empty one.

strtol() and friends may set EINVAL if no conversion was performed, but
they are not required to do so. In practice they don't. We need to check
for it.

In many cases this might have a negative effect since we drop escaping
from strings where we better shouldn't have dropped it.
If unescaping makes sense for some settings we can readd it later again,
on a per-case basis.

In some cases, like wrong configuration, restarting after error
does not help, so administrator can specify statuses by RestartPreventExitStatus
which will not cause restart of a service.
Sometimes you have non-standart exit status, so this can be specified
by SuccessfulExitStatus.
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.
