Let's not mention the supposed security benefit of turning off caching. It is
really questionnable, and I#d rather not create the impression that we actually
believed turning off caching would be a good idea.
Instead, mention that Cache=no is implicit if a DNS server on the local host is
used.
Don't check inhibitors when operating remotely. The interactivity inhibitors
imply can#t be provided anyway, and the current code checks for local sessions
directly, via various sd_session_xyz() APIs, hence bypass it entirely if we
operate on remote systems.

/run/systemd/inaccessible/{chr,blk} to map inacessible devices,
this patch allows systemd running inside a nspawn container to create
/run/systemd/inaccessible/{chr,blk}.
Because /run/systemd/inaccessible/{chr,blk} are devices with
major=0 and minor=0 it might be possible that these devices cannot be created
so we use /run/systemd/inaccessible/sock instead to map them.
To remove the hard dependency on systemd, for packages, which function
without a running systemd the %systemd_ordering macro can be used to
ensure ordering in the rpm transaction. %systemd_ordering makes sure,
the systemd rpm is installed prior to the package, so the %pre/%post
scripts can execute the systemd parts.
Installing systemd afterwards though, does not result in the same outcome.
As it turns out 512 is max number of tasks per service is hit by too many
applications, hence let's bump it a bit, and make it relative to the system's
maximum number of PIDs. With this change the new default is 15%. At the
kernel's default pids_max value of 32768 this translates to 4915. At machined's
default TasksMax= setting of 16384 this translates to 2457.
Why 15%? Because it sounds like a round number and is close enough to 4096
which I was going for, i.e. an eight-fold increase over the old 512
Summary:
| on the host | in a container
old default | 512 | 512
new default | 4915 | 2457
Let's change from a fixed value of 12288 tasks per user to a relative value of
33%, which with the kernel's default of 32768 translates to 10813. This is a
slight decrease of the limit, for no other reason than "33%" sounding like a nice
round number that is close enough to 12288 (which would translate to 37.5%).
(Well, it also has the nice effect of still leaving a bit of room in the PID
space if there are 3 cooperating evil users that try to consume all PIDs...
Also, I like my bikesheds blue).
Since the new value is taken relative, and machined's TasksMax= setting
defaults to 16384, 33% inside of containers is usually equivalent to 5406,
which should still be ample space.
To summarize:
| on the host | in the container
old default | 12288 | 12288
new default | 10813 | 5406
That way, we can neatly keep this in line with the new TasksMaxScale= option.
Note that we didn't release a version with MemoryLimitByPhysicalMemory= yet,
hence this change should be unproblematic without breaking API.
This adds support for a TasksMax=40% syntax for specifying values relative to
the system's configured maximum number of processes. This is useful in order to
neatly subdivide the available room for tasks within containers.

/run/systemd/inaccessible/{chr,blk} to map inacessible devices,
this patch allows systemd running inside a nspawn container to create
/run/systemd/inaccessible/{chr,blk}.
If the ESP is not mounted with "iocharset=ascii", but with "iocharset=utf8"
(which is for example the default in Debian), the file system becomes case
sensitive. This means that a file created as "FooBarBaz" cannot be accessed as
"foobarbaz" since those are then considered different files.
Moreover, a file created as "FooBar" can then also not be accessed as "foobar",
and it also prevents such a file from being created, as both would use the same
8.3 short name "FOOBAR".
Even though the UEFI specification [0] does give the canonical spelling for
the files mentioned above, not all implementations completely conform to that,
so it's possible that those files would already exist, but with a different
spelling, causing subtle bugs when scanning or modifying the ESP.
While the proper fix would of course be that everybody conformed to the
standard, we can work around this problem by just referencing the files by
their 8.3 short names, i.e. using upper case.

Normally we make all of /proc/sys read-only in a container, but if we do have
netns enabled we can make /proc/sys/net writable, as things are virtualized
then.
When a container scope is allocated via machined it gets 16K set already since
cf7d1a30e4. Make sure when a container is run as
system service it gets the same values.
We don't actually need any functionality from cgroup.h in execute.h, hence
don't include that. However, we do need the Unit structure from unit.h, hence
include that, and move it as late as possible, since it needs the definitions
from execute.h.
All other functions in execute.c that need the unit id take a Unit* parameter
as first argument. Let's change connect_logger_as() to follow a similar logic.
This way systemd is informed that we consider everything inside the scope as
"left-over", and systemd can log about killing it.
With this change systemd will log about all processes killed due to the session
clean-up on KillUserProcesses=yes.
Let's lot at LOG_NOTICE about any processes that we are going to
SIGKILL/SIGABRT because clean termination of them didn't work.
This turns the various boolean flag parameters to cg_kill(), cg_migrate() and
related calls into a single binary flags parameter, simply because the function
now gained even more parameters and the parameter listed shouldn't get too
long.
Logging for killing processes is done either when the kill signal is SIGABRT or
SIGKILL, or on explicit request if KILL_TERMINATE_AND_LOG instead of LOG_TERMINATE
is passed. This isn't used yet in this patch, but is made use of in a later
patch.
