getopt allows non-ambiguous abbreviations, so backwards-compat is maintained, and
people can use --kill-who (or even shorter abbreviations). English is flexible,
so in common speach people would use both forms, even if "whom" is technically
more correct. The advantage of using the longer form in the code is that we
effectively allow both forms, so we stop punishing people who DTGCT¹, but still
allow people to use the spoken form if they prefer.
1. Do the gramatically correct thing
When fuzzing, the following happens:
- we parse 'data' and produce an argv array,
- one of the items in argv is assigned to arg_host,
- the argv array is subsequently freed by strv_freep(), and arg_host has a dangling symlink.
In normal use, argv is static, so arg_host can never become a dangling pointer.
In fuzz-systemctl-parse-argv, if we repeatedly parse the same array, we
have some dangling pointers while we're in the middle of parsing. If we parse
the same array a second time, at the end all the dangling pointers will have been
replaced again. But for a short time, if parsing one of the arguments uses another
argument, we would use a dangling pointer.
Such a case occurs when we have --host=… --boot-loader-entry=help. The latter calls
acquire_bus() which uses arg_host.
I'm not particularly happy with making the code more complicated just for
fuzzing, but I think it's better to resolve this, even if the issue cannot
occur in normal invocations, than to deal with fuzzer reports.
Should fix https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=31714.
freep() has it's own definition, so I missed it in fd421c4adc.
Again, there is a small growth, but the compiler should be able to optimize it away:

--no-legend is replaced by --legend=no.
--quiet now implies --legend=no, but --legend=yes may be used to override that.
--quiet controls hints and warnings and such, and --legend controls just the
legends. I think it makes sense to allow both to controlled independently, in
particular --quiet --legend makes sense when using systemctl in a script to
provide some user-visible output.
Fixes#18560.
With all the preparatory work in previous PRs, we can now call static destructors
repeatedly without issue. We need to do it here so that global variables allocated
during parsing are properly freed.
Does what the name suggests. Obviously inspired by sudoers, but note that
our tools are not supposed to be installed suid, so there is no privilege
boundary to cross here.
