update-done: add minimal tool to manage system updates for /etc and /var, if /usr has changed In order to support offline updates to /usr, we need to be able to run certain tasks on next boot-up to bring /etc and /var in line with the updated /usr. Hence, let's devise a mechanism how we can detect whether /etc or /var are not up-to-date with /usr anymore: we keep "touch files" in /etc/.updated and /var/.updated that are mtime-compared with /usr. This means: Whenever the vendor OS tree in /usr is updated, and any services that shall be executed at next boot shall be triggered, it is sufficient to update the mtime of /usr itself. At next boot, if /etc/.updated and/or /var/.updated is older than than /usr (or missing), we know we have to run the update tools once. After that is completed we need to update the mtime of these files to the one of /usr, to keep track that we made the necessary updates, and won't repeat them on next reboot. A subsequent commit adds a new ConditionNeedsUpdate= condition that allows checking on boot whether /etc or /var are outdated and need updating. This is an early step to allow booting up with an empty /etc, with automatic rebuilding of the necessary cache files or user databases therein, as well as supporting later updates of /usr that then propagate to /etc and /var again.

Before=sysinit.target shutdown.target
core: add new ConditionNeedsUpdate= unit condition This new condition allows checking whether /etc or /var are out-of-date relative to /usr. This is the counterpart for the update flag managed by systemd-update-done.service. Services that want to be started once after /usr got updated should use: [Unit] ConditionNeedsUpdate=/etc Before=systemd-update-done.service This makes sure that they are only run if /etc is out-of-date relative to /usr. And that it will be executed after systemd-update-done.service which is responsible for marking /etc up-to-date relative to the current /usr. ConditionNeedsUpdate= will also checks whether /etc is actually writable, and not trigger if it isn't, since no update is possible then.
