integer as parameter instead of a string.
* The DDI image dissection logic (which backs RootImage= in service
unit files, the --image= switch in various tools such as
systemd-nspawn, as well as systemd-dissect) will now only mount file
systems of types btrfs, ext4, xfs, erofs, squashfs, vfat. This list
can be overriden via the $SYSTEMD_DISSECT_FILE_SYSTEMS environment
variable. These file systems are fairly well supported and maintained
in current kernels, while others are usually more niche, exotic or
legacy and thus typically do not receive the same level of security
support and fixes.

Changes in systemd and units:
* A new service type Type=notify-reload is defined. When such a unit is
reloaded a signal (typically SIGHUP) is sent to the main service
process. The manager will then wait until it receives a "RELOADING=1"
followed by a "READY=1" notification from the unit as response (via
sd_notify()). Otherwise, this type is the same as Type=notify.

user units respectively.
* Service units gained a new setting OpenFile= which may be used to
open arbitrary files in the file system (or connect to arbitrary
AF_UNIX sockets in the file system), and pass the open file
descriptor to the invoked process via the usual file descriptor
passing protocol. This is useful to give unprivileged services access
to select files which have restrictive access modes that would
normally not allow this. It's also useful in case RootDirectory= or
RootImage= is used to allow access to files from the host environment
(which is after all not visible from the service if these two options
are used.)

as for kernel-install.
* The JSON output of "bootctl list" will now contain two more fields:
isDefault and isSelected are boolean fields set to true on the
default and currently booted boot menu entries.
* bootctl gained a new verb "unlink" for removing a boot loader entry
type #1 file from disk in a safe and robust way.
* bootctl also gained a new verb "cleanup" that automatically removes
all files from the ESP's and XBOOTLDR's "entry-token" directory, that
is not referenced anymore by any installed Type #1 boot loader
specification entry. This is particulary useful in environments where
a large number of entries reference the same or partly the same
resources (for example, for snapshot-based setups).

* systemd-dissect now understands 2nd stage initrd images stored as a
Discoverable Disk Image (DDI).
* systemd-dissect will now display the main UUID of GPT DDIs (i.e. the
disk UUID stored in the GPT header) among the other data it can show.
* systemd-dissect gained a new --in-memory switch to operate on an
in-memory copy of the specified DDI file. This is useful to access a
DDI with write access without persisting any changes. It's also
useful for accessing a DDI without keeping the originating file
system busy.
* The DDI dissection logic will now automatically detect the intended
sector size of disk images stored in files, based on the GPT
partition table arrangement. Loopback block devices for such DDIs
will then be configured automatically for the right sector size. This
is useful to make dealing with modern 4K sector size DDIs fully
automatic. The systemd-dissect tool will now show the detected sector
size among the other DDI information in its output.

by various generators, but no regular unit file template was
available.)
