wouter bolsterlee 3d3e51eff2 docs: tweak rsync flags for moving existing home dir to systemd-homed
The documentation on moving an existing homedir into a systemd-homed managed
one suggests using rsync(1) with a bunch of flags to preserve as much metadata
as possible: permissions, xattrs, timestamps, etc. The previously suggested
flags were:

    rsync -aHAXv --remove-source-files …

… which does include mtimes, but not ctimes and atimes, because -a does not
include those:

    --archive, -a            archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)

This change adds the -N and -U flags to preserve even more file timestamps,
turning the command into:

    rsync -aHANUXv --remove-source-files …

The new flags are:

    --crtimes, -N            preserve create times (newness)
    --atimes, -U             preserve access (use) times

Benjamin Franzke 5c90c67a34 docs: use relative links
Allows for links to work both on systemd.io (or forks) and
when viewed on https://github.com/systemd/systemd/tree/main/docs

Note that the markdown links are converted by jekyll-relative-links[1]
to html. This plugin is enabled by default on github pages[2][3].

Due to a bug in jekyll-relative-links – see
https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-relative-links/issues/61 –
we need to avoid line-wrapped links when using relative markdown links.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 0aff7b7584 docs: add spdx tags to all .md files
I have no idea if this is going to cause rendering problems, and it is fairly
hard to check. So let's just merge this, and if it github markdown processor
doesn't like it, revert.

Gergely Polonkai c28904dae0 Update the rsync command in CONVERTING_TO_HOMED
The old version of this command will delete everything under the new home directory (including `.identity`), rendering the directory unusable with homed.
