Make /run/lock tmpfs an API fs
The /run/lock directory is world-writable in Debian due to historic
reasons. To avoid user processes filling up /run, we mount a separate

I put the helper functions in a separate header file, because they don't fit
anywhere else. pthread_mutex_{lock,unlock} is used in two places: nss-systemd
and hashmap. I don't indent to convert hashmap to use the helpers, because
there it'd make the code more complicated. Is it worth to create a new header
file even if the only use is in nss-systemd.c? I think yes, because it feels
clean and also I think it's likely that pthread_mutex_{lock,unlock} will be
used in other places later.
logind: avoid shadow lookups when doing userdb client side
Let's not trigger MACs needlessly.
Ideally everybody would turn on userdb, but if people insist in not

It's a bit ugly to implement this, since shadow information is more than
just passwords (but accound validity metadata), and thus userdb's own
"privieleged" scheme is orthogonal to this, but let's still do this for
the client side.

network: change UseGateway= default to UseRoutes= setting
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.
units: drop dependency on systemd-remount-fs.service from systemd-pstore.service
This dependency is now generated automatically given we use
StateDirectory=. Moreover the combination of Wants= and After= was too
strong anyway, as whether remount-fs is pulled in or not should not be up
to systemd-pstore.service, and in fact is part of the initial
transaction anyway.
core: automatically add dependency on systemd-remount-fs.service if StateDirectory= is used
And similar for other settings that require a writable /var/.
Rationale: if these options are used for early-boot services (such as
systemd-pstore.service) we need /var/ writable. And if /var/ is on the
root fs, then systemd-remount-fs.service is the service that ensures
that /var/ is writable.
This allows us to remove explicit deps in services such as
systemd-pstore.service.
pid1: by default make user units inherit their umask from the user manager
This patch changes the way user managers set the default umask for the units it
manages.
Indeed one can expect that if user manager's umask is redefined through PAM
(via /etc/login.defs or pam_umask), all its children including the units it
spawns have their umask set to the new value.
Hence make user units inherit their umask value from their parent instead of
the hard coded value 0022 but allow them to override this value via their unit
file.
Note that reexecuting managers with 'systemctl daemon-reexec' after changing
UMask= has no effect. To take effect managers need to be restarted with
'systemct restart' instead. This behavior was already present before this
patch.
