This allows unprivileged clients to check for the used virtualization
even when lacking the privileges that some of the virtualization tests
require.

No longer override the default kernel keymap if nothing is specified in
vconsole.conf.
The default should be to do nothing (i.e., use what is already in the
kernel) unless the distro/admin has explicitly requested it.
No longer override the default kernel font if nothing is specified in
vconsole.conf.
The default kernel font[0] provides ISO-8859-1 and box characters. Users
of Arabic, Cyrilic or Hebrew must set a different font manually as these
character sets were provided by the old default font [1], but are not
any longer.
Rationale:
* it is counter-intuitive that an empty vconsole.conf file is different
from adding FONT="";
* the version of the default font shipped with Arch (which is the
upstream one) behaves very badly during early boot[2] (which should
admittedly be fixed in the font itself);
* the kernel already supplies a default font, it seems reasonable to
use that unless anything else is specified;
* This also avoids a needless slow call to setfont; and
* We don't want to work around problems in the kernel (in case the
compiled-in font is not acceptable for whatever reason).

As audit is pretty much just a special kind of logging we should treat
it similar, and manage the audit fd in a static variable.
This simplifies the audit fd sharing with the SELinux access checking
code quite a bit.
a) Instead of parsing the bus messages inside of selinux-access.c
simply pass everything pre-parsed in the functions
b) implement the access checking with a macro that resolves to nothing
on non-selinux builds
c) split out the selinux checks into their own sources
selinux-util.[ch]
d) this unifies the job creation code behind the D-Bus calls
Manager.StartUnit() and Unit.Start().
d4e9eb91ea changed the behavior for the F and f actions, wrongly sending
them to glob_item(). Restore the old behavior and shortcut straight to
write_one_file().
This minimal HTTP server can serve journal data via HTTP. Its primary
purpose is synchronization of journal data across the network. It serves
journal data in three formats:
text/plain: the text format known from /var/log/messages
application/json: the journal entries formatted as JSON
application/vnd.fdo.journal: the binary export format of the journal
The HTTP server also serves a small HTML5 app that makes use of the JSON
serialization to present the journal data to the user.
Examples:
This downloads the journal in text format:
# systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.service
# wget http://localhost:19531/entries
Same for JSON:
# curl -H"Accept: application/json" http://localhost:19531/entries
Access via web browser:
$ firefox http://localhost:19531/
Among other cleanups this introduces a threshold for the size of binary
blobs we serialize as integer arrays in the JSON output. THis can be
disabled via --all.
It is no longer possible to manually enable systemd-udev-settle.service,
so its only use is by legacy services explicitly pulling it in. It makes
sense for these services to also explicitly order themselves after
udev-settle.service, which makes After=basic.target redundant.
This should reduce the negative effect on boot-time of having to enable
legacy services such as lvm.service.
