Lennart Poettering 78266a54f1 tree-wide: use "_" rather than "-" as separator in kernel cmdline options
Most of our kernel cmdline options use underscores as word separators in
kernel cmdline options, but there were some exceptions. Let's fix those,
and also use underscores.

Since our /proc/cmdline parsers don't distinguish between the two
characters anyway this should not break anything, but makes sure our own
codebase (and in particular docs and log messages) are internally
consistent.

<title>Credentials</title>
<para><command>systemd-network-generator</command> supports the service credentials logic as implemented
by
<varname>ImportCredential=</varname>/<varname>LoadCredential=</varname>/<varname>SetCredential=</varname>
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details). The following credentials are used when passed in:</para>
<variablelist class='system-credentials'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>network.netdev.*</varname></term>
<term><varname>network.link.*</varname></term>
<term><varname>network.network.*</varname></term>
<listitem><para>These credentials should contain valid
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.netdev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.link</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration data. From each matching credential a separate file is created. Example: a passed
credential <filename>network.link.50-foobar</filename> will be copied into a configuration file
<filename>50-foobar.link</filename>.</para>
<para>Note that the resulting files are created world-readable, it's hence recommended to not include
secrets in these credentials, but supply them via separate credentials directly to
<filename>systemd-networkd.service</filename>.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v256"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Note that by default the <filename>systemd-network-generator.service</filename> unit file is set up
to inherit the these credentials from the service manager.</para>
