Previously for an instantiated unit foo@bar.service we created a cgroup
foo@.service/foo@bar.service, in order to place all instances of the
same template inside the same subtree. As we now implicitly add all
instantiated units into one per-template slice we don't need this
complexity anymore, and instance units can map directly to the cgroups
of their full name.

- 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.

In order to prepare for the kernel cgroup rework, let's introduce a new
unit type to systemd, the "slice". Slices can be arranged in a tree and
are useful to partition resources freely and hierarchally by the user.
Each service unit can now be assigned to one of these slices, and later
on login users and machines may too.
Slices translate pretty directly to the cgroup hierarchy, and the
various objects can be assigned to any of the slices in the tree.

cg_get_machine_path is modified to include the escaped machine name
+ ".nspawn" if the machine argument is nonnull.

Let's better be safe than sorry.

Session objects will now get the .session suffix, user objects the .user
suffix, nspawn containers the .nspawn suffix.
This also changes the user cgroups to be named after the numeric UID
rather than the username, since this allows us the parse these paths
standalone without requiring access to the cgroup file system.
This also changes the mapping of instanced units to cgroups. Instead of
mapping foo@bar.service to the cgroup path /user/foo@.service/bar we
will now map it to /user/foo@.service/foo@bar.service, in order to
ensure that all our objects are properly suffixed in the tree.

As discussed with Dan Berrange it's a good idea to suffix all objects in
the cgroup tree with ".something", so that when the system is
partitioned using a resource management tool we can drop objects of
different types into the same partition directory without generate
namespace conflicts.
We'l add this to the Pax Control Group document as soon as write access
to the fdo wiki is restored.

containers there
Containers will now carry a label (normally derived from the root
directory name, but configurable by the user), and the container's root
cgroup is /machine/<label>. This label is called "machine name", and can
cover both containers and VMs (as soon as libvirt also makes use of
/machine/).
libsystemd-login can be used to query the machine name from a process.
This patch also includes numerous clean-ups for the cgroup code.

Make sure that our library is safe for usage in SUID programs when it
comes to env var handling
