Almost all programs are simple and have only a single command. When
printing options, let's just use the first COMMAND block found by default.
This means we can drop the explicit program-name argument and reduce
copy&paste boilerplate.
The custom help() is replaced by a COMMAND() description, and
--introspect-cli is added. The abstract is changed to use the imperative
form ("Install …" instead of "Installs …"), consistent with the other
commands. This also fixes the doubled colon in the "Options::" heading.
When the target disk carried no partitions, the installer still asked:
Please type 'keep' to install the OS in addition to what the disk
already contains, or 'erase' to erase all data on the disk:
The question is meaningless in that case: there's nothing on the disk
worth preserving, and both answers lead to the same result.
Modify fsystemd-repart to report in the dry-run reply of
io.systemd.Repart.Run() the number of partitions currently on the disk.
The field is only included if the existing partition table was actually
read, i.e. in the 'refuse' and 'allow' empty modes, and omitted
otherwise.
Make systemd-sysinstall skip the erase question if the reply positively
indicates that there are no partitions, proceeding as if 'keep' was
selected.
The user has to type 'yes', but it doesn't mean that the default of
'no' is ever useful. Suppress it, so the user doesn't have to press
backspace twice.
Previously, when a library was dynamically loaded via a helper function
inside libsystemd-shared.so, the resulting dlopen ELF note was not
propagated to the invoking executable's ELF metadata.
This commit explicitly annotates each executable with the relevant
dlopen ELF notes for any optional dependencies it might potentially
load. This ensures that package managers and build systems can properly
discover runtime dependencies that are triggered indirectly.
The repart connection was timeing out when fetching candidate devices.
Therfore disable the timeout and keep the connection open till the user
disconnects.
Allow graphical installers to use system sysinstall. This will be used
by gnome-setup to install GNOME OS and ideally installers of other
distributions talk to the same varlink interface.

Instead of failing the installation after creating the partitions and
doing almost the entire installation, and then failing if we don't have
a kernel image. Look for it before we start doing modifications to the disk.
This way we tell the user as soon as possible that we can't install the
OS because of the missing kernel image.
Factor a yes/no variant of prompt_loop() out into prompt-util.[ch], so the
various interactive tools can share a single implementation, and convert
systemd-sysinstall's installation confirmation question over to it.
The three first boot screens are visually separated from the console
output before them via the "chome" and welcome strings and sufficient
whitespace. But so far they weren't from the output after them. This is
sometimes a big confusing. Let's add a bit of a separator between the
end and what comes next, too.
Just cosmetics, nothing else.
This makes sure that whenever we want to show the OS name we can show
the fancy name. Thus this moves the escaping/validation of the fancy
name out of hostnamed into generic code, and then makes use of it in
sysinstall,firstboot,prompt-util.
