d79a2f5fab po: add a copy of polkit its rules
It's just a few lines, but this way we avoid a dependency on polkit, and
can use meson's i18n stuff on older distros.

c81217920e i18n: drop intltool use, use meson's merge_file directly
This didn't work during the initial conversion to meson, but should now.
A sufficiently new polkit is also required, for the .its rules files.

Note that https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/docs/markdown/i18n-module.md
says that 'install' argument was added in meson 0.43.0. If this is accurate,
warnigs might be generated with older mesons. Fedora has 0.43.0 across the
board, but other distros probably don't, but I guess that a warning is
prefereable to having to update do latest meson.

The advantages are:
- one less dependency (intltool)
- using the generic implementation instead of our open-coded calls
- we don't need to use the fake "_" prefixes in XML

Replaces #1609, fixes #7300.

d6e8096669 build-sys: require libmount >= 2.30 (#6795)
Fixes #4871.

The new libmount has two changes relevant for us:

- x-* options are propagated to /run/mount/utab and are visible through
  libmount (fixes #4817).

- umount -c now really works (partially solves #6115).

execve() systemd-shutdown. We have a comment about this in the code, but
being upfront about this change in behavior doesn't hurt.

This reverts commit 4f5e972279.

Building with gperf 3.0 works just fine; we had an autoconf check to
determine the correct data types, and this check was ported to meson.

87057e244b resolved: support libidn2 in addition to libidn
libidn2 2.0.0 supports IDNA2008, in contrast to libidn which supports IDNA2003.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1449145
From that bug report:

Internationalized domain names exist for quite some time (IDNA2003), although
the protocols describing them have evolved in an incompatible way (IDNA2008).
These incompatibilities will prevent applications written for IDNA2003 to
access certain problematic domain names defined with IDNA2008, e.g., faß.de is
translated to domain xn--fa-hia.de with IDNA2008, while in IDNA2003 it is
translated to fass.de domain. That not only causes incompatibility problems,
but may be used as an attack vector to redirect users to different web sites.

v2:
- keep libidn support
- require libidn2 >= 2.0.0
v3:
- keep dns_name_apply_idna caller dumb, and keep the #ifdefs inside of the
  function.
- use both ±IDN and ±IDN2 in the version string

dcce98a4bd Avoid strict DM interface version dependencies (#5519)
Compiling against the dm-ioctl.h header as provided by the Linux kernel
will embed the DM interface version number. Running an older kernel can
result in an error like this on shutdown:

Could not detach DM dm-11: ioctl mismatch, kernel(4.34.4), user(4.35.4)

Work around this by shipping a local copy of dm-ioctl.h. We need at
least the version from 3.13 for DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE [1], so bump the
requirements in README accordingly.

798c486fbc remove bus-proxyd
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.

1d40ddbfd3 core: drop check for /etc/mtab
util-linux 2.27.1 now entirely stops looking at /etc/mtab, so we don't need to
verify /etc/mtab during early boot any more. Later on, tmpfiles.d/etc.conf will
fix /etc/mtab anyway, so there's not even a point in warning about it.

Drop test_mtab() and bump the util-linux dependency to >= 2.17.1.

d379d44255 mount: use libmount to monitor mountinfo & utab
The current implementation directly monitor /proc/self/mountinfo and
/run/mount/utab files. It's really not optimal because utab file is
private libmount stuff without any official guaranteed semantic.

The libmount since v2.26 provides API to monitor mount kernel &
userspace changes and since v2.27 the monitor is usable for
non-root users too.

This patch replaces the current implementation with libmount based
solution.

bf1d7ba70a swap: use swapon -o
This patch simplify swapon usage in systemd. The command swapon(8)
since util-linux v2.26 supports "-o <list>". The idea is exactly the
same like for mount(8). The -o specifies options in fstab-compatible
way. For systemd it means that it does not have to care about things
like "discard" or another swapon specific options.

        swapon -o <options-from-fstab>

For backward compatibility the code cares about "Priority:" swap unit
field (for a case when Priority: is set, but pri= in the Options: is
missing).

7f8aa67131 core: remove tcpwrap support
tcpwrap is legacy code, that is barely maintained upstream. It's APIs
are awful, and the feature set it exposes (such as DNS and IDENT
access control) questionnable. We should not support this natively in
systemd.

Hence, let's remove the code. If people want to continue making use of
this, they can do so by plugging in "tcpd" for the processes they start.
With that scheme things are as well or badly supported as they were from
traditional inetd, hence no functionality is really lost.
