So far we created the target directory, and the source for bind mounts,
but not workdir/upperdir for overlays, so it has to be done separately
and strictly before the unit is started, which is annoying. Check the
options when creating directories, and if upper/work directories are
specified, create them.
This is the equivalent of RequiresMountsFor=, but adds Wants= instead
of Requires=. It will be useful for example for the autogenerated
systemd-cryptsetup units.

With file systems that have volume management functionalities or
volume managers like LVM, it's fine for the backing device of a mount
to disappear after mounted. Currently, we enforce BindsTo= or
StopPropagatedFrom= on the backing device, thus prohibiting such
cases. Instead, let's make this configurable through x-systemd.device-bound.

As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.

This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
When the target (Where=) of a mount does not exist, systemd tries to
create it. But previously, it'd always been created as a directory. That
doesn't work if one wants to bind-mount a file to a target that doesn't
exist.
Fixes: #17184
In most cases we refernced the concept as "initrd". Let's convert most
remaining uses of "initramfs" to "initrd" too, to stay internally
consistent.
This leaves "initramfs" only where it's relevant to explain historical
concepts or where "initramfs" is part of the API (i.e. in
/run/initramfs).

I think the current behaviour is stupid: 'x-systemd.automount,noauto' should
mean that we create the units, but don't add .mount or .automount to any targets.
Instead, we completely ignore 'noauto'. But let's at least describe the
implementation.
Text suggested by dpartrid in the bug.
Fixes#21040.
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.
For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
If an entry in fstab uses "x-systemd.automount" option and also asks for
additionnal dependencies via x-systemd.requires or such, then the dependencies
were applied to the automount unit.
But this unlikely to do the right thing and is inconsistent with what's done
for network mounts.
Indeed when an fstab entries has "_netdev,x-systemd.automount" options, the
dependencies against the network requested by "_netdev" are (correctly) applied
to the mount unit only and the automount unit remains ordered against
local-fs.target.
The same logic should be followed when extra deps are specified via the mount
options as automount units should always be ordered against local-fs.target.
Note: in general explicit deps specified via mount options should be used with
care and should be used to specify dependencies on other mount units only as it
can easily create ordering cycles otherwise like it's been seen in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/issues/69. Mount units (as well as
automount ones) are ordered before local-fs.target by default which is a
low-level target that most other units depend on.
