Failing after a single check leads to extra sleeps scattered through
test cases, and can also lead to false failures. Instead perform a
recheck for a number of seconds until the state matches, and fail only
if the timeout is exceeded.
This allows removing all the manual sleeps in the testcases.
We wait for "basic.target" being reached in the user instance anyway
before allowing the user's session to start, hence doing such a wait is
unnecessary, since that would just mean we'd wait for "default.target"
on top of "basic.target", but we shouldn#t need anything of that...
Hence, let's simplify this, reduce explicit sync points.
The name is not as universal as we want, still, hence let's use our own
user we create with sysusers.d/. That should yield same behaviour
everywhere (and also test sysusers a bit as side effect).
let's make sure we always invoke our commands through /bin/sh, since
on some distros su will use /bin/nologin (or whatever is listed in
/etc/passwd) as shell otherwise and we don#t want that.
To support ProtectHome=y in a user namespace (which mounts the inaccessible
nodes), the nodes need to be accessible by the user. Create these paths and
devices in the user runtime directory so they can be used later if needed.
