logind: fix crash in logind on user-specified message string
This is trivially exploitable (in the sense of causing a crash from SEGV) e.g.
by 'shutdown now "Message %s %s %n"'. The message is settable through polkit,
but is limited to auth_admin:
<action id="org.freedesktop.login1.set-wall-message">
<description gettext-domain="systemd">Set a wall message</description>
<message gettext-domain="systemd">Authentication is required to set a wall message</message>
<defaults>
<allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>

network: clarify the relationship between RA flags and DHCPv6 modes
In the documentation, using the term "managed" for both the RA flag and
the DHCPv6 mode is confusing because the mode is referred to as
"solicit" both in the official DHCPv6 documentation (see RFC 8415) and
in the WithoutRA option.
Furthermore, calling the other RA flag "other information" or "other
address configuration" is confusing because its official name is simply
"other configuration" (see RFC 4861 and RFC 5175) and it isn't used to
assign IP addresses.
Rewrite the documentation for DHCPv6Client and WithoutRA to make it
clear that getting the "managed" RA flag triggers the same kind of DHCP
request as WithoutRA=solicit, whereas getting the "other configuration"
RA flag triggers the same kind of DHCP request as
WithoutRA=information-request.
basic/strv: fix splitting of strings with escape characters
Plain strv_split() should not care if the strings contains backslashes
or quote characters. But extract_first_word() interprets backslashes
unless EXTRACT_RETAIN_ESCAPE is given.
shared/terminal-util: don't use $COLORTERM to force colors
Fixup for a5efbf468c96190c9562bc8121eda32310dfd112: if $COLORTERM was set, we'd
unconditionally turn on colors, which is unexpected and wrong. It even breaks
our own tests when executed in gnome-terminal.
I still think this is something that needs to be done, but we're hitting some
unexplained failures, e.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/22920.
So let's revert this for now, so -rc2 can be released, with a plan to return
to this after a release.

core: handle lookup paths being symlinks
With a recent change paths leaving the statically known lookup paths would be
treated differently then those that remained within those. That was done
(AFAIK) to consistently handle alias names. Unfortunately that means that on
some distributions, especially those where /etc/ consists mostly of symlinks,
would trigger that new detection for every single unit in /etc/systemd/system.
The reason for that is that the units directory itself is already a symlink.
Rebased-by: Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek@in.waw.pl>
The LLDP spec (IEEE 802.1AB) requires the three mandatory TLVs (Chassis
ID, Port ID, and TTL) to be the first three TLVs in the packet, in that
specific order, whereas systemd put the TTL near the end of the packet.
This violation caused the ethernet switch in our office to discard these
packets as malformed, and Wireshark's packet parser also chokes on them.

meson: Remove check-compilation.sh
No need to involve a trivial shell script for this.
We could call the compiler directly, but test() expects arguments
to be passed separately and cc.cmd_array() can contain arguments
itself. Using env is easier than manually slicing the array because
meson has no builtins for that.
The latter started to honour hidden files when deciding whether a
directory is empty. The former reverted to the old behaviour to fix
issue #23220.
It introduced a bug though: when a directory contains a larger number of
hidden entries the getdents64() buffer will not suffice to read them,
since we just allocate three entries for it (which is definitely enough
if we just ignore the . + .. entries, but not ig we ignore more).
I think it's a bit confusing that dir_is_empty() can return true even if
rmdir() on the dir would return ENOTEMPTY. Hence, let's rework the
function to make it optional whether hidden files are ignored or not.
After all, I looking at the users of this function I am pretty sure in
more cases we want to honour hidden files.
docs: use lowercase "qemu" and other minor tweaks to test docs
We used both "qemu" and "QEMU", let's use the lower-case version everywhere
since it's also the name of the binary and the version that people are
most familiar with.
The stuff under test/ is not only for the integeration tests, but also
for various other test-related stuff, so adjust the docs a bit.
Those long indentifiers make test output very wide, and they are ultimately
not very useful for humans to look at. Let's use some short string to identify
the test failure instead.

sd-network: Keep inotify watch if watch descriptor didn't change
In sd_network_monitor_flush(), we shouldn't remove the inotify
watch for the current directory if the directory the network
monitor is waiting for wasn't created yet.
inotify_add_watch() returns the same unique watch descriptor if a
path is already being watched. Let's return the watch descriptor
from monitor_add_inotify_watch() so we can check if it's the same
as the watch descriptor of the inotify event. If they are equal,
we're still watching the same path and we don't need to remove the
inotify watch just yet.
tmpfiles: Split networkd entries into a separate file
Many distributions ship systemd-networkd as a separate file so we
need to be able to ship the tmpfiles networkd entries as part of
that separate networkd package. Let's split the networkd entries
into a separate file to make that possible.
man: document that systemd-fstab-generator actually cares about roothash=/usrhash= on the kernel cmdline
It doesn't really care about the hash value passed (which is processed
by systemd-veritysetup-generator), but it does care about the fact that
it is set (and mounts the DM nodes /dev/mapper/usr + /dev/mapper/root in
that case).
I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier, but of course, it
*has* to be this data.
(This replaces some German prose about Berlin, that i guess only very
few people will get. With the new blob I think we have a much broader
chance of delivering smiles.)
Let's merge the footnote with the overall explanation of where systemd
parses its options from and reword the section a bit to hopefully make
things a bit more clear.
Many sandboxing options add implicit DeviceAllow rules, which might be confusing
for users running systemd-analyze security and not expecting it.
Print the list.

stat-util: ignore hidden_or_backup_file when checking if dir is empty
Commit https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/a068aceafbf
changed dir_is_emtpy_at to use FOREACH_DIRENT_IN_BUFFER instead of
FOREACH_DIRENT, but used dot_or_dotdot which just checks if the name
is literally '.' or '..' which is not enough, previous behaviour was
to ignore all hidden files, so restore that and add a test case.
