This gets rid of most but not occasions of these loaded terms:
1. scsi_id and friends are something that is supposed to be removed from
our tree (see #7594)
2. The test suite defines an API used by the ubuntu CI. We can remove
this too later, but this needs to be done in sync with the ubuntu CI.
3. In some cases the terms are part of APIs we call or where we expose
concepts the kernel names the way it names them. (In particular all
remaining uses of the word "slave" in our codebase are like this,
it's used by the POSIX PTY layer, by the network subsystem, the mount
API and the block device subsystem). Getting rid of the term in these
contexts would mean doing some major fixes of the kernel ABI first.
Regarding the replacements: when whitelist/blacklist is used as noun we
replace with with allow list/deny list, and when used as verb with
allow-list/deny-list.
Patch contains a coccinelle script, but it only works in some cases. Many
parts were converted by hand.
Note: I did not fix errors in return value handing. This will be done separate
to keep the patch comprehensible. No functional change is intended in this
patch.
The RFC 7217 (prefixstable) algorithm can use Duplicate Address
Detection to produce multiple candidate addresses, but the implementation
here does not currently employ that mechanism.
This error message will be emitted when any form of SLAAC address
generation fails, not just 'prefix stable', so the message should
only refer to SLAAC.
The logic which can produce an IPv6 address using SLAAC produces an
address, not a prefix, so the boolean variable used to detect whether
it succeeded should reflect that.
Provide names to choose between different auto-generation types:
2.1 "eui64" for EUI-64 of RFC 4291
2.2 "prefixstable" for RFC 7217
```
[Match]
Name=veth99
[Network]
DHCP=no
IPv6AcceptRA=yes
IPv6Token=prefixstable:2001:888:0db8:1::
```
Some path of configuring address, route or etc., go to failed state, but
some do not. E.g., failure in address configuration which is provided by
DHCPv4 goes to failed state, but static address does not.
This is just for consistency. This should not change anything if
everything is fine.
This also voidify manager_rtnl_process_address().
When address is in IPv4, the remaining buffer in in_addr_union may
not be initialized.
Fixes the following valgrind warning:

This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
