man: say that .link NamePolicy= should be empty for Name= to take effect
The description of NamePolicy= implied this, but didn't spell it out. It's a
very common use case, so let's add a bit of explanation and ehance the example
a bit.
Inspired by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1695894.

units: add time-set.target
time-sync.target is supposed to indicate system clock is synchronized
with a remote clock, but as used through 241 it only provided a system
clock that was updated based on a locally-maintained timestamp. Systems
that are powered off for extended periods would not come up with
accurate time.
Retain the existing behavior using a new time-set.target leaving
time-sync.target for cases where accuracy is required.

man: correct units path usage according to FHS (#11388)
According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, "The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated". So it should not be used by installed packages.

meson: drop misplaced -Wl,--undefined argument
Ld's man page says the following:
-u symbol
--undefined=symbol
Force symbol to be entered in the output file as an undefined symbol. Doing
this may, for example, trigger linking of additional modules from standard
libraries. -u may be repeated with different option arguments to enter
additional undefined symbols. This option is equivalent to the "EXTERN"
linker script command.
If this option is being used to force additional modules to be pulled into
the link, and if it is an error for the symbol to remain undefined, then the
option --require-defined should be used instead.
This would imply that it always requires an argument, which this does not
pass. Thus it will grab the next argument on the command line as its
argument. Before it took one of the many -lrt args (presumably) and now it
grabs something other random linker argument and things break.
[zj: this line was added in the first version of the meson configuration back
in 5c23128daba7236a6080383b2a5649033cfef85c. AFAICT, this was a mistake. No
such flag appeared in Makefile.am at the time.]
nspawn: create boot_id and kmsg files for overmounting in /run, not /tmp
/tmp might not be mounted at all yet (given that we support
SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_TMPFS_TMP=0 to turn this off), and /tmp is a dir systemd
usually tries to unmount during shutdown (unlike /run), and we shouldn't
keep it busy. Hence let's just move these deleted files to /run so that
we don't keep /tmp needlessly busy.
shared: add a single definition of libmount cleanup functions
Use a trivial header file to share mnt_free_tablep and mnt_free_iterp.
It would be nicer put this in mount-util.h, but libmount.h is not in the
default include path, and the build system would have to be adjusted to pass
pkg-config include path in various places, and it's just not worth the trouble.
A separate header file works nicely.
test-journal: move tests to /var/tmp/ and set FS_NOCOW_FL
The journal files might not be tiny hence let's write them to /var/tmp/
instead of /tmp. Also, let's turn on NOCOW on the files, as these tests
might apparently be slow on btrfs.
udev-util: allocate an event loop of our own for waiting
We can't use the per-thread default one here, as it might already be
running (for example, that's the case in portabled), and our event loops
are not recursive, hence running them a second time is not OK.
There are environments where /lib might not be necessary (think:
statically compiled portable service binary), hence don't insist on it
if the image is read-only.
basic/log: log any available location information in log_syntax()
We would log "(null):0: Failed to parse system call, ignoring: rseq" from
log_syntax_internal() from log_syntax() from seccomp_parse_syscall_filter_full()
from seccomp_parse_syscall_filter() from config_parse_syscall_filter(),
when generating the built-in @default whitelist. Since it was not based on the
unit file, we would not pass a file name.
So let's make sure that log_syntax() does not print "(null)" pointer (which is
iffy and ugly), and use the unit name as fallback or nothing if both are missing.
In principle, one of the two should be always available, since why use log_syntax()
otherwise, but let's make things more resilient by guarding against this case too.
log_syntax() is called from a thousand places, and often in error path, so it's
hard to verify all callers.
core: imply NNP and SUID/SGID restriction for DynamicUser=yes service
Let's be safe, rather than sorry. This way DynamicUser=yes services can
neither take benefit of, nor create SUID/SGID binaries.
Given that DynamicUser= is a recent addition only we should be able to
get away with turning this on, even though this is strictly speaking a
binary compatibility breakage.
core: add a generic helper that forwards per-unit method calls from Manager
Quite often we have a method DoSomethingWithUnit() on the Manager object
that is the same as a function DoSomething() on a Unit object. Let's
shorten things by introducing a common function that forwards the
former to the latter, instead of writing this again and again.
