Let's not leak details from src/shared and src/libsystemd into
src/basic, even though you can't actually do anything useful with
just forward declarations from src/shared.
The sd-forward.h header is put in src/libsystemd/sd-common as we
don't have a directory for shared internal headers for libsystemd
yet.
Let's also rename forward.h to basic-forward.h to keep things
self-explanatory.
In multi-seat scenarios, a display manager might need to start multiple
greeter sessions. But systemd allows at most one graphical session per
user. So, display managers now have a range of UIDs to dynamically
allocate users for their greeter sessions.
This makes the UID range configurable via build time options, but of
course it really shouldn't be changed. The default range I picked is
outside even of IPAs current (ridiculously large) allocation ranges,
hence hopefully minimizes conflicts.
A bit confusingly CONTAINER_UID_BASE_MAX is just the maximum *base* UID
for a container. Thus, with the usual 64K UID assignments, the last
actual container UID is CONTAINER_UID_BASE_MAX+0xFFFF.
To make this less confusing define CONTAINER_UID_MIN/MAX that add the
missing extra space.
Also adjust two uses where this was mishandled so far, due to this
confusion.
With this change the UID ranges we default to should properly match what
is documented on https://systemd.io/UIDS-GIDS/.
We had both uid-range.h and uid-alloc-range.h. The latter now contains helpers
like {uid,gid}_is_{system,dynamic,container}(), uid_for_system_journal(), so
the existing name is outdated. I think the uid-range.[ch] should stay separate
because it has a bunch of helpers for parsing and printing of uid ranges. So
let's rename as in $subject to better reflect the contents of the file and make
the two sets of files harder to confuse.
