When the tracked IPv6 link-local address is removed, networkd clears
link->ipv6ll_address, but keeps DHCPv6, NDisc, and RADV running. These
engines keep using a stale source identity which affects the following:
- DHCPv6 client continues to send Solicit/Renew/Rebind from a nonexistent
source address.
- NDisc continues to send Router Solicitations from a nonexistent source
address. Router Advertisements cannot be received properly.
- RADV continues to advertise with a stale source address. This can lead
to downstream hosts configuring invalid routes.
- DHCP-PD prefixes remain configured without a valid upstream DHCPv6 path.
Added link_ipv6ll_lost() to stop IPv6 dynamic engines and related states:
- sd_dhcp6_client_stop()
- ndisc_stop() + ndisc_flush()
- sd_radv_stop()
This is called from address_drop() when the dropped address matches the
tracked IPv6LL. After clearing the tracked address, it scans for another
ready link-local address on the interface. If found, this is set as
link->ipv6ll_address and link_ipv6ll_gained() is called to restart the
engines with the new source identity.
This resolves the FIXME in address_drop().

Then, this deprecates
- BindToInterface=
- RelayTarget=
- RelayAgentCircuitId=
- RelayAgentRemoteId=
settings in [DHCPServer] section.
These are gracefully translated as new settings.
We have a number of *_unref_and_replace macros. One could think that
they are like the various free_and_replace variants, but they actually
create a new ref to the passed object. The free_and_replace variants
take ownership of the argument. This inconsistency is surprising. Rename
all those functions to have "_new_ref" at the end to make the difference
clear.
Add an sd_varlink* parameter to both functions so Varlink callers can
receive a deferred reply once all async work completes, symmetrically
with the existing sd_bus_message* path.

Let's synthesize DNS RRs for leases handed out by our DHCP server. This
way local VMs can have resolvable hostnames locally.
This does not implement reverse look ups for now. We can add this
later in similar fashion.
This renames and splits link_may_have_ipv6ll() into
link_ipv6ll_enabled_harder() and link_multicast_enabled(),
as they are completely irrelevant to each other.
Also, this makes link_ipv6ll_enabled_harder() work non-Wireguard
interfaces.
Previously, the property was checked only when an uevent is received,
so even if an interface has ID_NET_MANAGED_BY property, the interface
will be configured by networkd when reconfiguration is triggered e.g.
when interface state is changed.
Follow-up for ba87a61d05.
Fixes#36997.
If master ifindex is non-zero, then the carrier state and operational
state of the interface may be the enslaved state.
As the operational state is saved in link state file, and read by
wait-online, we need to update the state file when the master ifindex is
changed.
When an interface leaved from the master interface, then reading
IFLA_MASTER attribute causes ENODATA. When the interface was previously
enslaved to another interface, we need to remove reference to the
interface from the previous master interface.
This is especially important when
```
ip link set dev eth0 nomaster
```
is called.
Fixes a bug introduced by 0d411b7f8f (v249).
Fixes#37629.
Let's move some more implementation logic into functions. We keep
the logic that requires the macro in the macro and move the rest into
functions.
While we're at it, let's also make the parameter declarations of
all the string table macros less clausthrophobic.
Admittedly, some of our glyphs _are_ special, e.g. "O=" for SPECIAL_GLYPH_TOUCH ;)
But we don't need this in the name. The very long names make some invocations
very wordy, e.g. special_glyph(SPECIAL_GLYPH_SLIGHTLY_UNHAPPY_SMILEY).
Also, I want to add GLYPH_SPACE, which is not special at all.
In the kernel, all routing policy rules are not assigned to any interface,
and we can configure them even if the relevant interface is down state.
Fixes a regression caused by 4f8b153d90 (v257).
Fixes#36244.
By the previous commit, configuration source of addresses and routes are
saved on stop and restored on start. Hence, we can keep dynamic
configurations on stop.

When an interface went down, IPv4 non-local routes are removed by the
kernel without any notifications. Let's forget the routes in that case.
Fixes#35047.
Previously, even if KeepConfiguration=dhcp or yes is specified in the
new .network file, dynamic configurations like DHCP address and routes
were dropped when 'networkctl reconfigure INTERFACE' is invoked.
If the setting is specified, let's gracefully handle the dynamic
configurations. Then, 'networkctl reconfigure' can be also used for
an interface that has critical connections.
Follow-up for dd6d53a8dc.
Unnecessary static configs will be anyway dropped later in
link_configure() -> link_drop_unmanaged_config(). Hence, even if we are
reconfiguring an interface cleanly, it is not necessary to drop static
configs here.
Follow-up for 451c2baf30.
With the commits, reloading .network files does not release previously
acquired DHCP lease and friends if possible. If previously a DHCP client
was configured as not requesting DNS servers or so, then the previously
acquired lease might not contain any DNS servers. In that case, if the
new .network file enables UseDNS=, then the interface should enter the
configured state after a new lease is acquired. To achieve that, we need
to reset the flags.
With this change, the workaround applied to the test by the commit
451c2baf30 can be dropped.
Otherwise, even if a link enters the configuring state at the beginning
of link_configure(), link_check_ready() may be called before
link_drop_unmanaged_config() is called, and the link may enter the
configured state.
Fixes#35092.
And use it when explicit reconfiguration is requested by Reconfigure() DBus method
or networkd certainly detects that connected network is changed.
Otherwise do not use the flag especially when we come back from sleep mode.
E.g. when a .network file is updated, but DHCP setting is unchanged, it
is not necessary to drop acquired DHCP lease.
So, let's not stop DHCP client and friends in link_reconfigure_impl(),
but stop them later when we know they are not necessary anymore.
Still DHCP clients and friends are stopped and leases are dropped when
the explicit reconfiguration is requested
