This allows us to later port nss-resolve to use Varlink rather than
D-Bus for resolution. This has the benefit that nss-resolve based
resoluton works even without D-Bus being up. And it's faster too.
It's strictly bus-specific, hence let's move this to resolved-bus.c like
the rest of the bus specific logic.
This is also in preparation for adding an alternative varlink transport,
which needs similar functionality, but varlink instead of bus-specific.
Let's prepare for adding a new varlink interface, and thus rename the
"request" field to "bus_request", so that we can later add a
varlink_request field too.
It's pretty useful to be able to access the bytes generically, without
acknowledging a specific family, hence let's a third way to access an
in_addr_union.
Imagine $PATH /a:/b. There is an echo command at /b/echo. Under this
configuration, this works fine:
% systemd-run --user --scope echo .
Running scope as unit: run-rfe98e0574b424d63a641644af511ff30.scope
.
However, if I do `mkdir /a/echo`, this happens:
% systemd-run --user --scope echo .
Running scope as unit: run-rcbe9369537ed47f282ee12ce9f692046.scope

We check whether the resulting file is executable for the performing
user, but of course, most directories are anyway, since that's needed to
list within it. As such, another is_dir() check is needed prior to
considering the search result final.
Another approach might be to check S_ISREG, but there may be more gnarly
edge cases there than just eliminating this obviously pathological
example, so let's just do this for now.
Ideally we would like to hide all other service's credentials for all
services. That would imply for us to enable mount namespacing for all
services, which is something we cannot do, both due to compatibility
with the status quo ante, and because a number of services legitimately
should be able to install mounts in the host hierarchy.
Hence we do the second best thing, we hide the credentials automatically
for all services that opt into mount namespacing otherwise. This is
quite different from other mount sandboxing options: usually you have to
explicitly opt into each. However, given that the credentials logic is a
brand new concept we invented right here and now, and particularly
security sensitive it's OK to reverse this, and by default hide
credentials whenever we can (i.e. whenever mount namespacing is
otherwise opt-ed in to).
Long story short: if you want to hide other service's credentials, the
most basic options is to just turn on PrivateMounts= and there you go,
they should all be gone.
When removing a directory tree as unprivileged user we might encounter
files owned by us but not deletable since the containing directory might
have the "r" bit missing in its access mode. Let's try to deal with
this: optionally if we get EACCES try to set the bit and see if it works
then.
Let's track the "dirty" state of a home directory backed by a LUKS
volume by setting a new xattr "home.home-dirty" on the backing file
whenever it is in use.
This allows us to later user this information to show a home directory
as "dirty". This is useful because we trim/allocate on log-out, and
if we don't do that a home directory will be larger than necessary. This
fact is something we should communicate to the admin.
The idea is that when an admin sees a user with a "dirty" home directory
they can ask them to log in, to clean up the dirty state, and thus trim
everything again.

Recovery keys for homed are very similar to regular passwords, except
that they are exclusively generated by the computer, and not chosen by
the user. The idea is that they are printed or otherwise stored
externally and not what users type in every day.
Taking inspiration from Windows and MacOS this uses 256bit keys. We
format them in 64 yubikey modhex characters, in groups of 8 chars
separated by dashes.
Why yubikey modhex? modhex only uses characters that are are located at
the same place in western keyboard designs. This should reduce the
chance for incorrect inputs for a major chunk of our users, though
certainly not all. This is particular relevant during early boot and
recovery situations, where there's a good chance the keyboard mapping is
not correctly set up.
