We used both "qemu" and "QEMU", let's use the lower-case version everywhere
since it's also the name of the binary and the version that people are
most familiar with.
The stuff under test/ is not only for the integeration tests, but also
for various other test-related stuff, so adjust the docs a bit.
There are some file systems mounted below /sys/ that are not actually
sysfs, i.e. are not arranged in a sysfs/kobject style. Let's refuse
those early. (Example, /sys/fs/cgroup/ and similar.)
(Also, let's add an env var for this, so that it can be turned off for
test cases.)
With meson-0.60, meson compile stopped working with some targets:
$ meson compile -C build update-man-rules
ERROR: Can't invoke target `update-man-rules`: ambiguous name. Add target type and/or path: `PATH/NAME:TYPE`
This is obviously a regression in meson, but based on a chat with the
maintainers, it seems that there's some disagreement as to whether 'meson
compile' is useful and how exactly it should work. Since we're already at
meson 0.60.3 and this hasn't been fixed, and people generally don't seem to
consider this an issue, let's return to documenting the usual practice of
'ninja -C build' that just works everywhere.
(Since nobody has raised any fuss in systemd, it means that people are
generally using the shorter form during development too. I only noticed
because I pasted a command from the release docs when preparing -rc1.)
GIT_VERSION is not available as a config.h variable, because it's rendered
into version.h during builds. Let's rework jinja2 rendering to also
parse version.h. No functional change, the new variable is so far unused.
I guess this will make partial rebuilds a bit slower, but it's useful
to be able to use the full version string.
The test for the variable is added in test-systemctl-enable because there we
can do it almost for free, and the variable is most likely to be used with
'systemctl enable --root' anyway.
The first three fields of a note are binary, so they are subject to
flipping due to endianess. Instead of a stream of bytes, just use
the native 4-bytes type so that it gets encoded automatically.

This new file is supposed to address conflicts with Fedora/Grub's
frankenbootloaderspec implementation, that squatted the /loader/entries/
dir, but place incompatible files in them (that do variable expansion?).
A simple text file /loader/entries.srel shall indicate which spec is
implemented. If it contains the string "type1\n" then the
/loader/entries/ directory implements our standard spec, otherwise
something else.
