update-done: add minimal tool to manage system updates for /etc and /var, if /usr has changed
In order to support offline updates to /usr, we need to be able to run certain tasks on next boot-up to bring /etc and /var in line with the updated /usr. Hence, let's devise a mechanism how we can detect whether /etc or /var are not up-to-date with /usr anymore: we keep "touch files" in /etc/.updated and /var/.updated that are mtime-compared with /usr. This means: Whenever the vendor OS tree in /usr is updated, and any services that shall be executed at next boot shall be triggered, it is sufficient to update the mtime of /usr itself. At next boot, if /etc/.updated and/or /var/.updated is older than than /usr (or missing), we know we have to run the update tools once. After that is completed we need to update the mtime of these files to the one of /usr, to keep track that we made the necessary updates, and won't repeat them on next reboot. A subsequent commit adds a new ConditionNeedsUpdate= condition that allows checking on boot whether /etc or /var are outdated and need updating. This is an early step to allow booting up with an empty /etc, with automatic rebuilding of the necessary cache files or user databases therein, as well as supporting later updates of /usr that then propagate to /etc and /var again.
