man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pages New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all untagged <varname> elements. Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if similarly named options exist elsewhere.

units: rename fsck@.service to systemd-fsck@.service The rule is that units that encapsulate our own code are prefixed with "systemd-". Since the fsck units invoke our own code, hence add the missing prefix. Since a long long time the fsck units didn't invoke the naked fsck binaries anymore, and it is unlikely that this well ever change. On the opposite: the code in systemd-fsck will probably get more complex over time to handle fsck progress to plymouth forwarding. Same for quotacheck (but not quotaon!)
