manager: run environment generators
Environment file generators are a lot like unit file generators, but not exactly: 1. environment file generators are run for each manager instance, and their output is (or at least can be) individualized. The generators themselves are system-wide, the same for all users. 2. environment file generators are run sequentially, in priority order. Thus, the lifetime of those files is tied to lifecycle of the manager instance. Because generators are run sequentially, later generators can use or modify the output of earlier generators. Each generator is run with no arguments, and the whole state is stored in the environment variables. The generator can echo a set of variable assignments to standard output: VAR_A=something VAR_B=something else This output is parsed, and the next and subsequent generators run with those updated variables in the environment. After the last generator is done, the environment that the manager itself exports is updated. Each generator must return 0, otherwise the output is ignored. The generators in */user-env-generator are for the user session managers, including root, and the ones in */system-env-generator are for pid1.
