3b18f3017c man: direct users to systemd-oomd if they read about OOMPolicy
OOMPolicy remains valid, but let's push users for the userspace solution.

6f83ea60e9 man: beef up the description of systemd-oomd.service
The gist of the description is moved from systemd.resource-control
to systemd-oomd man page. Cross-references to OOMPolicy, memory.oom.group,
oomctl, ManagedOOMSwap and ManagedOOMMemoryPressure are added in all
places.

The descriptions are also more down-to-earth: instead of talking
about "taking action" let's just say "kill". We *might* add configuration
for different actions in the future, but we're not there yet, so let's
just describe what we do now.

596e447076 Reintroduce ExitType
This introduces `ExitType=main|cgroup` for services.
Similar to how `Type` specifies the launch of a service, `ExitType` is
concerned with how systemd determines that a service exited.

- If set to `main` (the current behavior), the service manager will consider
  the unit stopped when the main process exits.

- The `cgroup` exit type is meant for applications whose forking model is not
  known ahead of time and which might not have a specific main process.
  The service will stay running as long as at least one process in the cgroup
  is running. This is intended for transient or automatically generated
  services, such as graphical applications inside of a desktop environment.

Motivation for this is #16805. The original PR (#18782) was reverted (#20073)
after realizing that the exit status of "the last process in the cgroup" can't
reliably be known (#19385)

This version instead uses the main process exit status if there is one and just
listens to the cgroup empty event otherwise.

The advantages of a service with `ExitType=cgroup` over scopes are:
- Integrated logging / stdout redirection
- Avoids the race / synchronisation issue between launch and scope creation
- More extensive use of drop-ins and thus distro-level configuration:
  by moving from scopes to services we can have drop ins that will affect
  properties that can only be set during service creation,
  like `OOMPolicy` and security-related properties
- It makes systemd-xdg-autostart-generator usable by fixing [1], as obviously
  only services can be used in the generator, not scopes.

d8e1613ed2 man: mention pages with more settings at end of each option list
For some unit types we have hundreds of options, and the reader may easily miss
that more options are described in other pages. We already mentioned this in
the introduction and then at the top of the option list, but it can't hurt to
repeat the information.

Also, add an (almost empty) Options section for the unit types which don't have
any custom options. It is nicer to have the same page structure in all cases,
so people can jump between pages for different types more easily.

18c7a1eb6c man: refresh description of sysvinit compat for services
The existing text must have been written before systemd-sysv-generator was
created. We don't create the wrappers dynamically since a long time.

Also add more links and make the description conditional on "if compat
is enabled".

abaf5edd08 Revert "Introduce ExitType"
This reverts commit cb0e818f7c.

After this was merged, some design and implementation issues were discovered,
see the discussion in #18782 and #19385. They certainly can be fixed, but so
far nobody has stepped up, and we're nearing a release. Hopefully, this feature
can be merged again after a rework.

Fixes #19345.

6824c132e9 systemctl: add service-log-{level,target} verbs
Heavily inspired by #15622. This adds:
  systemctl service-log-level systemd-resolved
  systemctl service-log-level systemd-resolved info
  systemctl service-log-target systemd-resolved
  systemctl service-log-target systemd-resolved console

We already have systemctl verbs log-level, log-target, and service-watchdogs.
Those two new verbs tie nicely into this scheme.

bf76080180 core: let user define start-/stop-timeout behaviour
The usual behaviour when a timeout expires is to terminate/kill the
service. This is what user usually want in production systems. To debug
services that fail to start/stop (especially sporadic failures) it
might be necessary to trigger the watchdog machinery and write core
dumps, though. Likewise, it is usually just a waste of time to
gracefully stop a stuck service. Instead it might save time to go
directly into kill mode.

This commit adds two new options to services: TimeoutStartFailureMode=
and TimeoutStopFailureMode=. Both take the same values and tweak the
behavior of systemd when a start/stop timeout expires:

 * 'terminate': is the default behaviour as it has always been,
 * 'abort': triggers the watchdog machinery and will send SIGABRT
   (unless WatchdogSignal was changed) and
 * 'kill' will directly send SIGKILL.

To handle the stop failure mode in stop-post state too a new
final-watchdog state needs to be introduced.

87afd40b5a man: systemd.service: systemd-analyze exit-codes -> exit-status
5238d9a83a renames this to exit-status, but systemd.service was not
updated.

The rest of the doc seems a bit inconsistent in its use of the terms
"exit code" and "exit status", but it's not that confusing, so leave
those alone for now.

3e1db806b0 core: change top-level drop-in from -.service.d to service.d
Discussed in #13743, the -.service semantic conflicts with the
existing root mount and slice names, making this feature not
uniformly extensible to all types. Change the name to be
<type>.d instead.

Updating to this format also extends the top-level dropin to
unit types.
