Merged David Edmundson requested to merge work/systemdstartup into master Jun 09, 2020

Summary: This brings numerous advantages such as:

  • easier admin configuration with drop-ins, overrides and multiple hooks throughout (and only having to learn one tool)

  • session cleanup on exit, avoiding that occasional part where shutdown hangs

  • startup that actually knows when things are up

  • race free autostart and DBus activation at once

  • logs that rotate are split by service and usable

  • resource management through slices and cgroups

Over the past 2 years I've been trying to tidy up and encapsulate the relevant parts of startup into the binary plasma-session so that we can just runtime swap out that one part and supporting both paths will be easy.

Support is toggleable via a configuration option. The default is currently completely off. Then we can change after some feedback.
