Commit 4a77ca7 was an attempt at fixing the wording of --after and --before,
but the new wording was unclear.
Split the combined --after/--before section into a separate section for
each, explicitly state what each option does, and add information about
how these lists are generated.

Now --listen-http=-3 --listen-https=-4 can be used to spawn a µhttpd
server on those two ports, in http and https modes respectively.
As before, --listen-http=3 --listen-https=4 will launch µhttpd servers
on ports 3 and 4.
Most of the messages we send do not require a allocating and
freeing a buffer, to optimize this by using const strings.
Also, rename respond_error to mhd_respond*, since it is used
not only for errors.
Make use of information from printf to avoid one extra call to
strlen.
The whole tool is made dependent on µhttpd availability. It should be
easy to make the µhttpd parts conditional, but since transfer over
HTTP seems to be the primary use case, currently this is not done.
Current implementation uses nested epoll loops: sd-event is used for
the external event loop, and µhttpd uses epoll in its own
loop. Unfortunately µhttpd does not expose enough information to add
the descriptors it uses to the external event loop. This means that
starvation of other events is possible, if one of the inner µhttpd
loops is constantly busy. This means that µhttpd servers should not
be mixed with other sources.
The TLS authentication parts haven't been really tested properly, and
should not be take too seriously.
If --trust=ca.crt is used, only clients presenting certificates signed
by the ca will be allowed to proceed. No hostname matching is
performed, so any client wielding a signed certificate will be
authorized.
Error functions are moved from journal-gateway to microhttp-util and
made non-static, since now they are used in two source files.
Prefix "gnutls: " is added. Some semi-random mapping of gnutls levels
to syslog levels is done, but since gnutls levels seem to be used
rather loosely, most end up as debug.
A certificate authority certificate will be presented to clients,
causing them to present their client certificate, if it is signed by
this authority (default behaviour of most clients). No certificate
checking is actually performed.
GCC optimizes strlen("string constant") to a constant, even with -O0.
Thus, replace patterns like sizeof("string constant")-1 with
strlen("string constant") where possible, for clarity. In particular,
for expressions intended to add up the lengths of components going into
a string, this often makes it clearer that the expression counts the
trailing '\0' exactly once, by putting the +1 for the '\0' at the end of
the expression, rather than hidden in a sizeof in the middle of the
expression.
This will let journald forward logs as messages sent to all logged in
users (like wall).
Two options are added:
* ForwardToWall (default yes)
* MaxLevelWall (default emerg)
'ForwardToWall' is overridable by kernel command line option
'systemd.journald.forward_to_wall'.
This is used to emulate the traditional syslogd behaviour of sending
emergency messages to all logged in users.
utmp_wall() now takes an optional argument 'username_override' which
allows the caller to override the username shown on wall messages.
journald will use this to inform users that its wall messages comes from
'systemd-journald'.
This adds the same root argument to search_and_fopen that
conf_files_list already has. Tools that use those two functions as a
pair can now be easily modified to load configuration files from an
alternate root filesystem tree.
This makes it possible to initialize the /etc/machine-id file on an
arbitrary filesystem hierarchy. This helps systems that wish to run
this at image creation time in a subdirectory, or from initramfs before
pivot-root is called.
