test: make TEST-64 mdadm_lvm cleanup robust against reruns
mdadm --zero-superblock only wipes the MD metadata on the underlying
disks, not the LVM PV header that lives in the array data area. When
the VM is restarted and the test re-creates the array with the same
UUID, /dev/md127 exposes the old data including the LVM PV header, so
udev's 69-lvm.rules auto-triggers lvm-activate-mdlvm_vg.service which
races with the test's own pvcreate for exclusive access on /dev/md127.
Wipe the LVM signature off the MD device (and the underlying disks as
a belt-and-braces measure) to avoid the race on re-run, fixing failures
when the VM is rebooted instead of shut down.

boot: Try to load UKI from simple filesystem before LoadImage
When the source buffer is NULL, the firmware is supposed to try to load the UKI

on some versions of AMI, it does not use simple filesystem protocol,
and then fails to load if the ESP was loaded from an El Torito boot

(that just propagates the error on OPTION_ERROR), let's then
introduce an explicit FOREACH_OPTION_OR_RETURN(), that returns from
the calling function on its own (and makes that clear in the name).

CLEANUP_ELEMENTS() pairs with these helpers to provide a _cleanup_-like

and the helper is invoked across the elements at scope exit. Compared to
CLEANUP_ARRAY(), the storage is neither freed nor zeroed.

test: add integration test for storagectl and storage providers
VM-only test that exercises both shipped providers through storagectl:
verifies the well-known sockets exist, lists providers/volumes/
templates, creates and acquires volumes from each template
(sparse-file, allocated-file, directory, subvolume), attaches a loop
device to cover the block provider, and exercises the mount.storage
helper.
CLI for inspecting and using storage providers. Scans
/run/systemd/io.systemd.StorageProvider/ (or the user-mode equivalent)
for AF_UNIX sockets and talks to each one over Varlink. Verbs:
"volumes" lists volumes across all providers, "templates" lists
supported creation templates, "providers" lists the endpoints
themselves.
Also installed as a mount.storage helper, so
'mount -t storage PROVIDER:VOLUME /mnt' (or 'mount -t storage.<fstype>'
to put a fresh filesystem on a block volume) acquires the volume and
mounts it. Ships with bash/zsh completions and a man page.
Second StorageProvider implementation, exposing regular files and
directories from a backing filesystem. In system mode the backing
directory is /var/lib/storage/, in user mode $XDG_STATE_HOME/storage/;
entries with a .volume suffix are exposed, with the inode type
determining whether the volume is reported as reg, dir or (via
symlinked/bind-mounted device node) blk.
Unlike the block provider, this one supports creating volumes
on-demand from a small set of built-in templates: sparse-file,
allocated-file, directory and subvolume.
First implementation of io.systemd.StorageProvider, exposing all block
devices known to udev (disks, partitions, dm nodes, …) as volumes of
type "blk". Names are picked from stable /dev/mapper and /dev/disk/by-*
symlinks; content-derived identifiers (by-uuid, by-label, …) are
intentionally avoided for security. Volume creation is not supported by
this backend.
Socket-activated via /run/systemd/io.systemd.StorageProvider/block.
Also adds shared storage-util.[ch] (VolumeType / CreateMode helpers)
that subsequent providers reuse.
Generic Varlink API for services that hand out file descriptors to
storage volumes. Three methods: Acquire() returns an fd for a named
volume (optionally creating it from a template), ListVolumes()
enumerates available volumes, ListTemplates() enumerates supported
creation templates. Volume types follow kernel inode-type naming:
blk (block device), reg (regular file), dir (directory).
Intent is that multiple providers can sit behind AF_UNIX sockets in a
well-known directory and be consumed uniformly by nspawn, vmspawn,
the service manager (BindVolume=) and similar tools.
Merge the two blocks adding tests, since there seems to be
no obvious reason to have two separate blocks, as they both
contain tests from the same libraries.

This commit adds a simple version of io.systemd.Unit.StartTransient
for varlink. It is similar to the dbus version, but there is a key
difference:
1. Instead of building the unit from key/value properties it
takes a structured json object "UnitContext" with a "Service" field
inside.
It is also only implementing a minimal set of what can be done with a
service.
2. No aux units (for now)
3. When called with --more the varlink socket can notify about
state changes depending on the notify{Job,Unit}Changes parameter
This aligns to the json objects/format from
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/39391
and to show how the format can be shared it adds a new
(minimal) `ServiceContext` that is now part of
`io.systemd.Unit.List()`.
