- introduce several helper functions
- do not list unit files, but remove the runtime unit directory in
tearDown().
- do not list used interfaces, but remove all interfaces previously not
exists in tearDown().
- save routes and routing policy rules before running tests, and flush
unnecessary routes and rules in each tearDown() calls.
- drop many time.sleep() calls.
- call tearDown() after each sub tests.
- shorten code.
- several coding style fixes.
- etc, etc...
In the welcome line, use NAME= as the fallback for PRETTY_NAME=.
PRETTY_NAME= doesn't have to be set, but NAME= should.

We had a description in README, and an outdated list in the man page.
I think we should keep a reference-style list in the man page. The description
in README is more free-form.
man: redefine SUPPORT_END= to mean one day earlier
I thought it would be nice to specify the last day of support, because I
thought it'd seem more natural. But in practice this doesn't work well, because
such a truncated timestamp is usually taken to mean midnight that starts the
given date. I.e. 2011-12-13 is a shorthand for 2011-12-13 00:00:00 and not
2011-12-13 23:59:59.999999999999. Let's instead specify that the given date is
the first unsupported day, which is meaningful for humans, and let the computer
treat it as midnight, which gives consistent interpratation.

bootctl: add --install-source=auto|image|host
When using --root=/--image= the binaries to install/update will be
picked from the directory/image. Add an option to let the caller
choose.
By default (auto) the image is tried first, and if nothing is found
then the host. The other options allow to strictly try the image
or host and ignore the other.
mac: rework labelling code to be simpler, and less racy
This merges the various labelling calls into a single label_fix_full(),
which can operate on paths, on inode fds, and in a dirfd/fname style
(i.e. like openat()). It also systematically separates the path to look
up in the db from the path we actually use to reference the inode to
relabel.
This then ports tmpfiles over to labelling by fd. This should make the
code a bit less racy, as we'll try hard to always operate on the very
same inode, pinning it via an fd.
This uses RET_NERRNO to more quickly pull the error code we see into
"r" out of "errno".
This does not change anything really. The only reason to do this is
because it is harder to break this accidentally. The thing is that
"errno" is easily set as side-effect of arbitrary functions. Thus, if we
rely on it being set for long code paths, we need to make carefully sure
that no code in between calls any function that might corrupt it as
side-effect. As far as I can see we did get this right. Nonetheless, I
think we should just store the value in "r" instead, to make it easier
to maintain this in the long run, if more code is inserted one day, who
knows.
tmpfiles: port from dirname/basename to path_extract_directory/filename()
let's use our better, newer internal APIs for these purposes. This gets us
two things: safer handling when the root dir is specified, and better
handling of paths with trailing slashes, as we can refuse them whenever
a directory is not acceptable.
Reduce the number of iterations in some of the test cases, since they
generate a huge amount of uevents and basically DoS udev (which can't
keep up while being slowed down by ASan). To avoid this, let's reduce
the number of iterations and bump the timeout when running under ASan,
since we're not interested in performance in such cases.
test: avoid overriding an already existing EXIT handler
TEST-70 specified its own EXIT handler, which replaced the
`cleanup_loopdev` handler, so the loop device was always hanging around
once this test was run. Let's use the new `add_at_exit_handler()` stuff
to mitigate this.
Bash allows only one handler per signal, so let's overcome this
limitation by having one dedicated EXIT signal which runs all registered
handlers from all over the place.
- use test_append_files() to install additional commands
- drop use of expect
- include assert.sh and use assertions at several places
- use timeout command at several places
- always use logind-test-user
- etc

logind: don't start user@UID.service instance for background sessions
We have had background session class for a long time (since commit e2acb67baa), but so far the only difference in handling of background
sessions was logging, i.e. we log some messages with LOG_DEBUG for such
sessions.
Previously there were complains [1] about excessive logging for each
time cron session is started. We used to advise user to enable lingering
for users if they want to avoid these log messages. However, on servers
with a lot of users the extra processes that result from lingering just
adds too much overhead. Hence I think that our current handling of
background sessions is not ideal and we should make better use of this
attribute.
This commit introduces a change in default behavior of logind. Logind is
now not going to start user instance of systemd when background session
is created and that should address excessive logging problem for cron
where background class is used by default. When the same user actually
logs in normally then user instance will be started as previously.
Also note that PAM_TTY variable is now always set to some value for PAM
sessions started via PAMName= option. Otherwise we would categorize such
sessions as "background" and user manager won't be started.
