This adds the sd_notify_barrier function, to allow users to synchronize against
the reception of sd_notify(3) status messages. It acts as a synchronization
point, and a successful return gurantees that all previous messages have been
consumed by the manager. This can be used to eliminate race conditions where
the sending process exits too early for systemd to associate its PID to a
cgroup and attribute the status message to a unit correctly.
systemd-notify now uses this function for proper notification delivery and be
useful for NotifyAccess=all units again in user mode, or in cases where it
doesn't have a control process as parent.

A service can specify FDSTORE=1 FDPOLL=0 to request that PID1 does not
poll the fd to remove them on error. If set, fds will only be removed on
FDSTOREREMOVE=1 or when the service is done.

It turns out that our man page didn't describe the handling of single-label
names almost at all. This probably adds to the confusion regarding the subject.
So let's first describe what our current implementation is doing.
Quoting https://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2013-2/iab-statement-dotless-domains-considered-harmful/:
> Applications and platforms that apply a suffix search list to a single-label
> name are in conformance with IETF standards track RFCs. Furthermore,

Current behaviour is in line with that recommendation.
For #13763.
Anyone previously using the UseRoutes=false parameter expected their
dhcp4-provided gateway route to be ignored, as well. However, with
the introduction of the UseGateway= parameter, this is no longer true.
In order to keep backwards compatibility, this sets the UseGateway=
default value to whatever UseRoutes= has been set to.
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
We use udev to wait for /dev/loopX devices to be fully proped hence we
need an implicit ordering dependency on it, for RootImage= to work
reliably in early boot, too.
Fixes: #14972
