With this change processing/saving of coredumps takes the RLIMIT_CORE resource limit of the crashing process into
account, given the user control whether specific processes shall core dump or not, and how large to make the core dump.
Note that this effectively disables core-dumping for now, as RLIMIT_CORE defaults to 0 (i.e. is disabled) for all
system processes.
The default of 16 is pretty low, let's bump this to accomodate for more
queued datagrams. This is useful for AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM logging and
sd_notify() sockets as this allows queuing more datagrams before things
start to block, thus improving parallelization and logging performance.
Quoting from Jon Corbet's report of Stephen Hemminger's talk at Linux
Plumbers Conference 2014 (https://lwn.net/Articles/616241/):
[...] So Stephen encouraged everybody to run a command like:
sysctl -w net.core.default_qdisc=fq_codel
That will cause fq_codel to be used for all future connections
[Qdiscs apply to interfaces, not connections. Pointed out by TomH
in the article comments. -- mschmidt] (up to the next reboot).
Unfortunately, the default queuing discipline cannot be changed,
since it will certainly disturb some user's workload somewhere.
Let's have the recommended default in systemd.

Without this, secondary addresses would get deleted when the primary one is. This is not
the desired behavior when one would like to transition from one address to another in the
same subnet (such as when a new IP address is given over DHCP).
In networkd, when given a new IP over DHCP we will add it, without explicitly removing the
old one first (and hence never have a window without an IP address configured). Assuming the
addresses are in the same subnet, that means that the old address is the primary and the new
address is the secondary one. Once the old address expires, the kernel will drop it. With the
old behavior this means that both addresses would be lost, which is clearly not what we want.
With the new behavior, only the old address is lost, and the new one is promoted to primary.

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.
