Given that this is also the place to store raw disk images which are
very much bootable with qemu/kvm it sounds like a misnomer to call the
directory "container". Hence, let's change this sooner rather than
later, and use the generic name, in particular since we otherwise try to
use the generic "machine" preferably over the more specific "container"
or "vm".
This introduces am AddressFamilyBoolean type that works more or less
like a booleaan, but can optionally turn on/off things for ipv4 and ipv6
independently. THis also ports the DHCP field over to it.
Now that networkd's IP masquerading support means that running
containers with "--network-veth" will provide network access out of the
box for the container, let's add a shortcut "-n" for it, to make it
easily accessible.
This adds two new settings to networkd's .network files:
IPForwarding=yes and IPMasquerade=yes. The former controls the
"forwarding" sysctl setting of the interface, thus controlling whether
IP forwarding shall be enabled on the specific interface. The latter
controls whether a firewall rule shall be installed that exposes traffic
coming from the interface as coming from the local host to all other
interfaces.
This also enables both options by default for container network
interfaces, thus making "systemd-nspawn --network-veth" have network
connectivity out of the box.
This turns "lock-session", "activate", "unlock-session",
"enable-linger", "disable-linger" into commands that take no argument,
optionally in which case the callers session/user is implied.
This patch adds more detail to the description of how path escaping
operates and provides a pointer to the systemd-escape program. Either
would serve to answer the question raised in the bug report, so
hopefully this will allow it to be closed.

With this change it is possible to send file descriptors to PID 1, via
sd_pid_notify_with_fds() which PID 1 will store individually for each
service, and pass via the usual fd passing logic on next invocation.
This is useful for enable daemon reload schemes where daemons serialize
their state to /run, push their fds into PID 1 and terminate, restoring
their state on next start from the data in /run and passed in from PID
1.
The fds are kept by PID 1 as long as no POLLHUP or POLLERR is seen on
them, and the service they belong to are either not dead or failed, or
have a job queued.
See bug 87859 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87859). Bug
reporter found the language describing the effect of specifying both a
day and date unclear; hopefully the attached patch will clarify and
allow the bug to be closed.
The handling of the command name and other arguments is unified. This
simplifies things and should make them more predictable for users.
Incidentally, this makes ExecStart handling match the .desktop file
specification, apart for the requirment for an absolute path.

This pulls out the hwdb managment from udevadm into an independent tool.
The old code is left in place for backwards compatibility, and easy of
testing, but all documentation is dropped to encourage use of the new
tool instead.
