systemctl supports runlevel invocation name without utmp.
The runlevel symlink is installed unconditionally.
So it's reasonable to install runlevel manpage with it as well.

Traditionally, user logins had a $PATH in which /bin was before /sbin, while
root logins had a $PATH with /sbin first. This allows the tricks that
consolehelper is doing to work. But even if we ignore consolehelper, having the
path in this order might have been used by admins for other purposes, and
keeping the order in user sessions will make it easier the adoption of systemd
user sessions a bit easier.
Fixes#733.

OOM handling in manager_default_environment wasn't really correct.
Now the (theorertical) malloc failure in strv_new() is handled.
Please note that this has no effect on:
- systems with merged /bin-/sbin (e.g. arch)
- when there are no binaries that differ between the two locations.
E.g. on my F30 laptop there is exactly one program that is affected:
/usr/bin/setup -> consolehelper.
There is less and less stuff that relies on consolehelper, but there's still
some.
So for "clean" systems this makes no difference, but helps with legacy setups.

journalctl --unit= already did this, and allows you to tail all the logs
for a certain slice easily. It seemed only natural to make --user-unit
behave in a similar way.
The _SYSTEMD_USER_SLICE field was not documented as being added by
journald, so I have added that to the documentation too.
Furthermore, I have documented the existing behaviour of --unit= and the
new behaviour of --user-unit=
The behaviour was actually not documented before, so I am also OK with
removing the match for the --unit= command instead. The user would then
have to manually provide _SYSTEMD_SLICE= filter to journalctl in both
cases. Both options work for me.
Don't claim we'd use cgroup.deny much. It's just a way to remove stuff
from device lists, which is nothing we allow users to explicitly
configure.
Also, extend documentation when wildcards may be used, and when not.
waitid(2) and the libc function signature calls this "exit status", and
uses "exit code" for something different. Let's stick to the same
nomenclature hence.
This option is only used on reboot, not on other types of shutdown
modes, so it is misleading.
Keep the old name working for backward compatibility, but remove it
from the documentation.
Rather than always enabling the shutdown WD on kexec, which might be
dangerous in case the kernel driver and/or the hardware implementation
does not reset the wd on kexec, add a new timer, disabled by default,
to let users optionally enable the shutdown WD on kexec separately
from the runtime and reboot ones. Advise in the documentation to
also use the runtime WD in conjunction with it.

We removed support for foreign services (and ntp-units.d/) in b72ddf0f4.
Support for foreign services was added back in 5d280742, but through an
environment variable.
The problem with the env var approach is that it only works as a mechanism
to select one item, and doesn't work nicely as a mechinism to create a list
of items through drop-ins (because the env var can be easily overridden, but not
extended). Having a list of "ntp providers" is important to be able to reliably disable
all of them when that is requested.
Another problem is that nobody ever bothered to care about our new "standard".
ntp-units.d/ is a nice simple format that works and is already supported by
chrony and ntpd and timedatex. If we were to introduce and ask people to follow
a new standard, there should be some good reason for this. The idea with env
vars has lower functionality, requires systemd-specific syntax. We should just
re-adopt the format that we originally introduced and that seems to work for
everyone, and more on to more interesting problems.
