KillUserProcesses=yes/no should be ignored when termination is
explicitly requested.

logind has no concept of session ordering. Sessions have a unique name,
some attributes about the capabilities and that's already it. There is
currently no stable+total order on sessions. If we use the logind API to
switch between sessions, we are faced with an unordered list of sessions
we have no clue of.
This used to be no problem on seats with VTs or on seats with only a
single active session. However, with the introduction of multi-session
capability for seats without VTs, we need to find a way to order sessions
in a stable way.
This patch introduces session "positions". A position is a simple integer
assigned to a session which is never changed implicitly (currently, we
also don't change it explicitly, but that may be changed someday). For
seats with VTs, we force the position to be the same as the VTnr. Without
VTs, we simply find the lowest unassigned number and use it as position.
If position-assignment fails or if, for any reason, we decide to not
assign a position to a session, the position is set to 0 (which is treated
as invalid position).
During session_load() or if two sessions have the same VTnr, we may end up
with two sessions with the same position (this shouldn't happen, but lets
be fail-safe in case some other part of the stack fails). This case is
dealt with gracefully by ignoring any session but the first session
assigned to the position. Thus, session->pos is a hint, seat->positions[i]
is the definite position-assignment. Always verify both match in case you
need to modify them!
Additionally, we introduce SwitchTo(unsigned int) on the seat-dbus-API.
You can call it with any integer value != 0 and logind will try to switch
to the request position. If you implement a compositor or any other
session-controller, you simply watch for ctrl+alt+F1 to F12 and call
SwitchTo(Fx). logind will figure a way out deal with this number.
For convenience, we also introduce SwitchToNext/Previous(). It should be
called on ctrl+alt+Left/Right (like the kernel-console used to support).
Note that the public API (SwitchTo*()) is *not* bound to the underlying
logic that is implemented now. We don't export "session-positions" on the
dbus/C API! They are an implementation detail. Instead, the SwitchTo*()
API is supposed to be a hint to let logind choose the session-switching
logic. Any foreground session-controller is free to enumerate/order
existing sessions according to their needs and call Session.Activate()
manually. But the SwitchTo*() API provides a uniform behavior across
session-controllers.
Background: Session-switching keys depend on the active keymap. The XKB
specification provides the XKB_KEY_XF86Switch_VT_1-12 key-symbols which
have to be mapped by all keymaps to allow session-switching. It is usually
bound to ctrl+alt+Fx but may be set differently. A compositor passes any
keyboard input to XKB before passing it to clients. In case a key-press
invokes the XKB_KEY_XF86Switch_VT_x action, the keypress is *not*
forwarded to clients, but instead a session-switch is scheduled.
This actually prevents us from handling these keys outside of the session.
If an active compositor has a keymap with a different mapping of these
keys, and logind itself tries to catch these combinations, we end up with
the key-press sent to the compositor's clients *and* handled by logind.
This is *bad* and we must avoid this. The only situation where a
background process is allowed to handle key-presses is debugging and
emergency-keys. In these cases, we don't care for keymap mismatches and
accept the double-event. Another exception is unmapped keys like
PowerOff/Suspend (even though this one is controversial).

Introduces a new concept of "trusted" vs. "untrusted" busses. For the
latter libsystemd-bus will automatically do per-method access control,
for the former all access is automatically granted. Per-method access
control is encoded in the vtables: by default all methods are only
accessible to privileged clients. If the SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED flag
is set for a method it is accessible to unprivileged clients too. By
default whether a client is privileged is determined via checking for
its CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability, but this can be altered via the
SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() macro that can be ORed into the flags field
of the method.
Writable properties are also subject to SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED and
SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() for controlling write access to them. Note
however that read access is unrestricted, as PropertiesChanged messages
might send out the values anyway as an unrestricted broadcast.
By default the system bus is set to "untrusted" and the user bus is
"trusted" since per-method access control on the latter is unnecessary.
On dbus1 busses we check the UID of the caller rather than the
configured capability since the capability cannot be determined without
race. On kdbus the capability is checked if possible from the attached
meta-data of a message and otherwise queried from the sending peer.
This also decorates the vtables of the various daemons we ship with
these flags.

We should return seat_can_graphical() instead of seat_can_tty() for the
public dbus CanGraphical attribute. This used to work, but the
dbus -> sd-bus conversion introduced this regression.

This way we can unify handling of credentials that are attached to
messages, or can be queried for bus name owners or connection peers.
This also adds the ability to extend incomplete credential information
with data from /proc,
Also, provide a convenience call that will automatically determine the
most appropriate credential object for an incoming message, by using the
the attached information if possible, the sending name information if
available and otherwise the peer's credentials.

Just in order to bring things inline with the method and property
callbacks.

Message handler callbacks can be simplified drastically if the
dispatcher automatically replies to method calls if errors are returned.
Thus: add an sd_bus_error argument to all message handlers. When we
dispatch a message handler and it returns negative or a set sd_bus_error
we send this as message error back to the client. This means errors
returned by handlers by default are given back to clients instead of
rippling all the way up to the event loop, which is desirable to make
things robust.
As a side-effect we can now easily turn the SELinux checks into normal
function calls, since the method call dispatcher will generate the right
error replies automatically now.
Also, make sure we always pass the error structure to all property and
method handlers as last argument to follow the usual style of passing
variables for return values as last argument.

This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the
dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test
case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling,
and this dependency can be turned off.
This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are
necessary to make the port work:
- Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are
severed.
- Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the
same path.
This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus
calls which used an inappropriate signature.
As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which
carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.

callers session, user, seat or machine object
This way clients can skip invoking GetSessionByPID() for their own PID
or a similar call to access these objects.

- This changes all logind cgroup objects to use slice objects rather
than fixed croup locations.
- logind can now collect minimal information about running
VMs/containers. As fixed cgroup locations can no longer be used we
need an entity that keeps track of machine cgroups in whatever slice
they might be located. Since logind already keeps track of users,
sessions and seats this is a trivial addition.
- nspawn will now register with logind and pass various bits of metadata
along. A new option "--slice=" has been added to place the container
in a specific slice.
- loginctl gained commands to list, introspect and terminate machines.
- user.slice and machine.slice will now be pulled in by logind.service,
since only logind.service requires this slice.

This is a followup to: commit 1a37b9b9043ef83e9900e460a9a1fccced3acf89
It will fix denial messages from dbus-daemon between gdm and
systemd-logind on logging into GNOME due to this.
See the previous commit for more details.

Since we boot so fast now that gdm might get started before the
graphics drivers are properly loaded and probed we might end up
announcing seat0 to gdm before it has graphics capabilities. Which will
cause gdm/X11 cause to fail later on.
To fix this race, let's expose CanGraphical and CanTTY fields on all
seats, which clarify whether a seat is suitable for gdm resp, suitable
for text logins. gdm then needs to watch CanGraphical and spawn X11 on
it only if it is true.
This way:
USB graphics seats will expose CanGraphical=yes, CanTTY=no
Machines with no graphics drivers at all, but a text console:
CanGraphical=no, CanTTY=yes
Machines with CONFIG_VT turned off: CanGraphical=yes, CanTTY=no
And the most important case: seat0 where the graphics driver has not
been probed yet boot up with CanGraphical=no, CanTTY=yes first, which
then changes to CanGraphical=yes as soon as the probing is complete.

We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.

The way the various properties[] arrays are initialized is inefficient:
- only the .data members change at runtime, yet the whole arrays of
properties with all the fields are constructed on the stack one by
one by the code.
- there's duplication, eg. the properties of "org.freedesktop.systemd1.Unit"
are repeated in several unit types.
Fix it by moving the information about properties into static const
sections. Instead of storing the .data directly in the property, store
a constant offset from a run-time base.
The small arrays of struct BusBoundProperties bind together the constant
information with the right runtime information (the base pointer).
On my system the code shrinks by 60 KB, data increases by 10 KB.
