This is a fancy wrapper around "cat <<EOF", but:
- the user doesn't need to figure out the file name,
- parent directories are created automatically,
- daemon-reload is implied,
so it's a convenient way to create units or drop-ins.
Closes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21862.
Automatically softreboot if the nextroot has been set up with an OS
tree, or automatically kexec if a kernel has been loaded with kexec
--load.
Add SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_AUTO_KEXEC and SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_AUTO_SOFT_REBOOT to
skip the automated switchover.
Instead of mounting over, do an atomic swap using mount beneath, if
available. This way assets can be mounted again and again (e.g.:
updates) without leaking mounts.
As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.

This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
Doesn't really matter since the two unicode symbols are supposedly
equivalent, but let's better follow the unicode recommendations to
prefer greek small letter mu, as per:

We hardcode the path the initrd uses to prepare the final mount point at
so many places, let's also imply it in "systemctl switch-root" if not
specified.
This adds the fallback both to systemctl and to PID 1 (this is because
both to — different – checks on the path).
Now that we have a potentially pinned fdstore let's add a concept for
cleaning it explicitly on user requested. Let's expose this via
"systemctl clean", i.e. the same way as user directories are cleaned.
Follow-up for 0f958c8d4f.
systemctl is called many times by dnf or so, and missing /proc/ is not
a user's fault, but package manager's issue.
With this commit, we can suppress the warning by updating rpm macros if
necessary.
Previously 'systemctl edit' would only operate on
'override.conf', but users may need more than that.
Thus the new option '--drop-in' is added to allow
users to specify the drop-in file name.
Closes#25767
