pid1: add a new SetShowStatus() bus call to override/restore show status mode
The only way to control "ShowStatus" property programmatically was to use the
signal API and wait until the property "ShowStatus" switched to the new value.
This interface is rather cumbersome to use and doesn't allow to temporarily
override the current setting and later restore the overridden value in
race-free manner.
The new method also accepts the empty string as argument which allows to
restore the initial value of ShowStatus, ie the value before it was overridden
by this method.
The fact that m->show_status was serialized/deserialized made impossible any
further customisation of this setting via system.conf. IOW the value was
basically always locked unless it was changed via signals.
This patch reworks the handling of m->show_status but also makes sure that if a
new value was changed via the signal API then this value is kept and preserved
accross PID1 reexecuting or reloading.
Note: this effectively means that once the value is set via the signal
interface, it can be changed again only through the signal API.

pid1: rename manager_get_show_status() to manager_should_show_status()
The name 'manager_get_show_status()' suggests that the function simply reads
the property 'show_status' of the manager and hence returns a 'StatusType'
value.
However it was doing more than that since it contained the logic (based on
'show_status' but also on the state of the manager) to figure out if status
message could be emitted to the console.
Hence this patch renames the function to 'manager_should_show_status()'. The
previous name will be reused in a later patch to effectively return the value
of 'show_status' property.
parse-util: allow '-0' as alternative to '0' and '+0'
Let's allow "-0" as alternative to "+0" and "0" when parsing integers,
unless the new SAFE_ATO_REFUSE_PLUS_MINUS flag is specified.
In cases where allowing the +/- syntax shall not be allowed
SAFE_ATO_REFUSE_PLUS_MINUS is the right flag to use, but this also means
that -0 as only negative integer that fits into an unsigned value should
be acceptable if the flag is not specified.

test: add integration test for udev event timeout
Note that run_test() calls coredumpctl in a loop because in certain
environments (1 vCPU unaccelerated QEMU VM) it might take quite a
while to process the coredump.
networkd: start a DBus interface for the DHCP server
Add a "org.freedesktop.network1.DHCPServer" DBus interface that will be
added on a link path where a DHCP server is provided.
Currently, it only exposes a "Leases" property, although there are plans
to expand it further. The property is updated thanks to the
dhcp_server_callback().
This makes the output more predictable. Also, interesting interfaces
are often the low-numbered ones (actual hardware links, not virtual
devices stacked on top), and this makes them more visible.
Those lists are very long and use up a significant chunk of screen real estate.
But the contents are mostly static (usually they just reflect built-in
configuration). Let's just not show them in 'status' output. They can still
be viewed with 'nta' verb.
Instead of reading the mtime off the configuration files after reading,
let's do so before reading, but with the fd we read the data from. This
is not only cleaner (as it allows us to save one stat()), but also has
the benefit that we'll detect changes that happen while we read the
files.
This also reworks unit file drop-ins to use the common code for
determining drop-in mtime, instead of reading system clock for that.

man: add note that emergency.target inherits mount state
Based on an internal discussion whether emergency.target should remount disks
ro, or maybe remount them rw, or do nothing. In some cases people want to boot
ro, and always remounting rw would break that. In other cases, remounting disks
ro after they have already been mounted rw is mostly pointless and might even
not be possible. So let's just document that we don't change the state.
Also: any→other, since emergency.service *is* pulled in.
Also: just advertise "emergency" as the way to boot into the target.
We are not going to remove this option, and it's way easier to type than
"systemd.unit=emergency.target".

test: temporarily block test 48 on Ubuntu's autopkgtest
This test runs fine locally (both on Qemu and nspawn) but sporadically fails on
autopkgtest for some reason.
Disable it while the issue is investigated to reduce noise.
