This introduces a bunch of facilities:
1. The factory-reset.target unit that requests a factory reset is now
complemented by factory-reset-now.target that executes it at next
boot.
2. This latter is added to the initial transaction via the new trivial
systemd-factory-reset-generator.
3. A tool systemd-factory-reset has been added to query, request,
cancel, complete factory reset operations (via EFI variables). Two of
these are wrapped into units that are plugged into
factory-reset.target and factory-reset-now.target respectively. The
tool also provides a simple Varlink API.
This should make things a lot cleaner, and both be useful as explicit
implementation on UEFI, and as template + hookpoints for alternative
implementations on non-UEFI.
The current description for the factory reset target does not add any
value and doesn't respect the definition of the related property as
described in systemd.unit(5).
Starting the target currently results in the following log:
[ 11.139174] systemd[1]: Reached target Target that triggers factory reset. Does nothing by default..
[ OK ] Reached target Target that…set. Does nothing by default..
Simply update the target description to "Factory Reset".
