journal: reduce minimum journal file size to 512 KiB
For low end embedded systems 4 MiB for each journal file is a lot of
memory. Journald will use at least 512 KiB even if JOURNAL_FILE_SIZE_MIN is
set to less than that so just use 512 KiB.
The basic setup for the well-known system and session buses is
now done in read-only files in ${datadir} (normally /usr/share).
See the NEWS entry for 1.9.18 for details.

detect-virt: dmi: look for KVM
Some guests (ARM, AArch64, x86-RHEL) have 'KVM' in the product name.
Look for that first in order to more precisely report "kvm" when
detecting a QEMU/KVM guest. Without this patch we report "qemu",
even if KVM acceleration is in use on ARM/AArch64 guests.
I've only tested a backported version of this and the previous
patch on an AArch64 guest (which worked). Of course it would be
nice to get regression testing on all guest types that depend on
dmi done.

arm/aarch64: detect-virt: check dmi
ARM/AArch64 guests now have SMBIOS tables populated (when boot
with a late enough QEMU and a late enough AAVMF is used as the
bootloader). Furthermore, when booting ARM/AArch64 guests with
ACPI, the DT detection obviously no longer works, so we need
dmi detection.

detect-virt: detect in best-heuristic order
afaict, this will fix a regression caused by commit 75f86906c5.
Where we used to report "kvm" before that patch, without this patch,
we would only report "qemu". The reason is because cpuid detection
must come before dmi detection. Also, both can safely come before
other xen heuristics. Untested.
sd-daemon: explicitly filter out -1 when parsing watchdog timeout
We already filter out 0, and as -1 is usually special (meaning infinity,
as in USEC_INFINITY) we should better not accept it either. Better safe
than sorry...

sd-pppoe: drop
It is really unclear if we want to / have the resources to support this fully, so drop it
for now. It can easily be brought back if a killer usecase emerges.
Note that this code was never hooked up, so this does not remove any features.

build-sys: temporarily lower libmount version check
util-linux 2.27.1's configure.ac still claims to be 2.27.0, which breaks our
version check. Lower it back to 2.27.0 until util-linux gets a fixed tarball.

man: Drop "internally," which is misleading
The existing text misleads readers into thinking how the notify socket protocol is "internals" and that they can only use the functions. However, the socket is part of the Interface Stability Promise. So, we should drop "internally" from the description so the man page both indicates both how the functions work and how one would talk to the socket directly.
log-generator: add option to generate easily compressible data
This is useful to check that compression actually works, and how
compression influences file size in the best-case-scenario for
compression. (The answer is that not as much as one would hope:
there's still a big overhead of the indexing and since every field
is compressed separately, even fields that compress very well
contribute to the file size. This overhead becomes negligible only
for very big fields.)
journalctl: when we fail to open a journal file, print why
When we enumerate journal files and encounter an invalid one, remember
which this, and show it to the user.
Note the possibly slightly surprising logic here: we store only one path
per error code. This means we show all error kinds but not every actual
error we encounter. This has the benefit of not requiring us to keep a
potentially unbounded list of errors with their sources around, but can
still provide a pretty complete overview on the errors we encountered.
- Always print a debug log message about files and directories we cannot
open right when it happens instead of the caller, thus reducing the
number of places where we need to generate the debug message.
- Always push the errors we encounter immediately into the error set,
when we run into them, instead of in the caller. Thus, we never forget
to push them in.
- Use stack instead of heap memory where we can.
- Make remove_file() void, since it cannot fail anyway and always
returned 0.
- Make local machine check of journal directories explicit in a
function, to make things more readable.
- Port to all directory listing loops FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL()
- sd-daemon is library code, hence never log at higher log levels than
LOG_DEBUG.
When reading stuff, we should only return EIO when an actual read error
occured, not when we don't like the data for whatever reason.
We already return ENODATA for all other kinds of file truncation, hence
do the same for the most obvious kind, so that callers know what ENODATA
means.
core: expose number of file descriptors in fd store on the bus
For each service expose how many file descriptors there are currently in
the fd store.
(Also, fix the exporting of the fdstore limit, given that the field is
just an "unsigned" but we exported it as "uint32_t". Not that there way
any effective difference, but let's make this clean...)
