doc: document the boot menu entry identifier vocabulary
The existing text already said "See below regarding a recommended
vocabulary for boot loader entry identifiers.", but the section for it
was still missing. Let's fill in the missing bits, and describe basic
suggested rules for the boot menu entry identifier vocabulary, in
particular how to identify Windows and MacOS X installations, and how to
name automatic entries vs. explicitly configured ones.
This basically follows the logic implemented in sd-boot these days.
util-lib: move main() definition macros to its own header file
This way, we can extend the macro a bit with stuff pulled in from other
headers without this affecting everything which pulls in macro.h, which
is one of our most basic headers.
This is just refactoring, no change in behaviour, in prepartion for
later changes.
pam_systemd: suppress LOG_DEBUG log messages if debugging is off
In the PAM module we need to suppress LOG_DEBUG messages manually, if
debug logging is not on, as PAM won't do this for us. We did this
correctly for most log messages already, but two were missing. Let's fix
those too.
test: kill all processes launched by test-execute before exiting
As was shown in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10696#issuecomment-439613204,
currently `meson` waits for 1080 seconds (which is three times the global timeout) for the
test to fail completely even though it takes just two minutes for it to really fail. This
happens because the test itself leaves the services it has launched behind, which, in turn, makes
meson think that the test is still in progress. KILL_ALL with SIGKILL should make the issue
go away.
It was only used in one place, where we don't actually need it, and
it is too easy to forget to update it when adding new items to the table.
Let's just drop it.

cgroup v2: DefaultCPUAccounting=yes if CPU controller isn't required
We now don't enable the CPU controller just for CPU accounting if we are
on 4.15+ and using pure unified hierarchy, as this is provided
externally to the CPU controller. This makes CPUAccounting=yes
essentially free, so enabling it by default when it's cheap seems like a
good idea.

cgroup v2: Don't require CPU controller for CPU accounting in 4.15+
systemd only uses functions that are as of Linux 4.15+ provided
externally to the CPU controller (currently usage_usec), so if we have a
new enough kernel, we don't need to set CGROUP_MASK_CPU for
CPUAccounting=true as the CPU controller does not need to necessarily be
enabled in this case.
Part of this patch is modelled on an earlier patch by Ryutaroh Matsumoto
(see PR #9665).
journald: check whether sscanf has changed the value corresponding to %n
It's possible for sscanf to receive strings containing all three fields
and not matching the template at the same time. When this happens the
value of k doesn't change, which basically means that process_audit_string
tries to access memory randomly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't :-)

fsck: configure logging before use and define main through macro
There's a slight change in logic: before, when rebooting the machine, we could
also request quotacheck (by touching /run/systemd/quotacheck) if the fsck
helper set FSCK_ERROR_CORRECTED. This is just a race, and doesn't matter much
in practice.
I decided to use a separate definition for this because it's too easy to return
positive from functions which don't need this distinction and only return
negative on error and success otherwise.
rc-local-generator: add comment explaining the background of the generator
This is not obvious, hence it deserves some form of documentation.
However, it's also ultimately an implementation detail, hence let's not
add this to the man page, but as a code comment, that is visible right
at the top of source file.
logind: when we need to execute a sleep operation we don't support, fall back to suspend
If suspend-then-hibernate, hybrid-sleep or plain hibernation is
supposed to be execute due to a key press/lid switch but is not
supported, automatically fall back to plain suspend (and log about it).
docs: migrate boot loader interface from fdo wiki to git
This imports
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/BootLoaderInterface/
into our sources, and extends it substantially with various variables
now supported.
