Kernel default mode is 0600, but distributions change it to group kvm, mode
either 0660 (e.g. Debian) or 0666 (e.g. Fedora). Both approaches have valid
reasons (a stricter mode limits exposure to bugs in the kvm subsystem, a looser
mode makes libvirt and other virtualization mechanisms work out of the box for
unprivileged users over ssh).
In Fedora the qemu package carries the relevant rule, but it's nicer to have it
in systemd, so that the permissions are not dependent on the qemu package being
installed. Use of packaged qemu binaries is not required to make use of
/dev/kvm, e.g. it's possible to use a self-compiled qemu or some alternative.

To accomodate both approaches, add a rule to set the mode in 50-udev-default.rules,
but allow the mode to be overridden with a --with-dev-kvm-mode configure rule.
The default is 0660, as the (slightly) more secure option.

As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.

Let's add an extra-safety net and change UID/GID to the "systemd-coredump" user when processing coredumps from system
user. For coredumps of normal users we keep the current logic of processing the coredumps from the user id the coredump
was created under.

Hardly any software uses that any more, and better locking mechanisms like
flock() have been available for many years.
Also drop the corresponding "lock" group from sysusers.d/basic.conf.in, as
nothing else is using this.

Fixes:
$ ./configure ... --disable-microhttpd --enable-libcurl
--enable-sysusers
$ make && make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/INST
$ ls INST/usr/lib/sysusers.d/
basic.conf systemd.conf
There is no a file with `systemd-journald-upload`

./configure --enable/disable-kdbus can be used to set the default
behavior regarding kdbus.
If no kdbus kernel support is available, dbus-dameon will be used.
With --enable-kdbus, the kernel command line option "kdbus=0" can
be used to disable kdbus.
With --disable-kdbus, the kernel command line option "kdbus=1" is
required to enable kdbus support.

Choose which system users defined in sysusers.d/systemd.conf and files
or directories in tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf, should be provided depending
on comile-time configuration.

This mirrors the setup for tmpfiles.d done in ad95fd1d2b9.

This ways, distributions have an easier way to replace the OS specific
generic groups/users while keeping systemd's own.

When the user specifies --with-tty-gid= then we should honour that and
write it to the snippet, too.

static files
systemd-sysusers is a tool to reconstruct /etc/passwd and /etc/group
from static definition files that take a lot of inspiration from
tmpfiles snippets. These snippets should carry information about system
users only. To make sure it is not misused for normal users these
snippets only allow configuring UID and gecos field for each user, but
do not allow configuration of the home directory or shell, which is
necessary for real login users.
The purpose of this tool is to enable state-less systems that can
populate /etc with the minimal files necessary, solely from static data
in /usr. systemd-sysuser is additive only, and will never override
existing users.
This tool will create these files directly, and not via some user
database abtsraction layer. This is appropriate as this tool is supposed
to run really early at boot, and is only useful for creating system
users, and system users cannot be stored in remote databases anyway.
The tool is also useful to be invoked from RPM scriptlets, instead of
useradd. This allows moving from imperative user descriptions in RPM to
declarative descriptions.
The UID/GID for a user/group to be created can either be chosen dynamic,
or fixed, or be read from the owner of a file in the file system, in
order to support reconstructing the correct IDs for files that shall be
owned by them.
This also adds a minimal user definition file, that should be
sufficient for most basic systems. Distributions are expected to patch
these files and augment the contents, for example with fixed UIDs for
the users where that's necessary.
