With this change processing/saving of coredumps takes the RLIMIT_CORE resource limit of the crashing process into
account, given the user control whether specific processes shall core dump or not, and how large to make the core dump.
Note that this effectively disables core-dumping for now, as RLIMIT_CORE defaults to 0 (i.e. is disabled) for all
system processes.
This reworks the coredumping logic so that the coredump handler invoked from the kernel only collects runtime data
about the crashed process, and then submits it for processing to a socket-activate coredump service, which extracts a
stacktrace and writes the coredump to disk.
This has a number of benefits: the disk IO and stack trace generation may take a substantial amount of resources, and
hence should better be managed by PID 1, so that resource management applies. This patch uses RuntimeMaxSec=, Nice=, OOMScoreAdjust=
and various sandboxing settings to ensure that the coredump handler doesn't take away unbounded resources from normally
priorized processes.
This logic is also nice since this makes sure the coredump processing and storage is delayed correctly until
/var/systemd/coredump is mounted and writable.

Previously, using --accept would enable inetd-style socket activation in addition to per-connection operation. This is
now split into two switches: --accept only switches between per-connection or single-instance operation. --inetd
switches between inetd-style or new-style fd passing.
This breaks the interface of the tool, but given that it is a debugging tool shipped in /usr/lib/systemd/ it's not
really a public interface.
This change allows testing new-style per-connection daemons.
This moves the StartLimitBurst=, StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitAction=, RebootArgument= from the [Service] section
into the [Unit] section of unit files, and thus support it in all unit types, not just in services.
This way we can enforce the start limit much earlier, in particular before testing the unit conditions, so that
repeated start-up failure due to failed conditions is also considered for the start limit logic.
For compatibility the four options may also be configured in the [Service] section still, but we only document them in
their new section [Unit].
This also renamed the socket unit failure code "service-failed-permanent" into "service-start-limit-hit" to express
more clearly what it is about, after all it's only triggered through the start limit being hit.
Finally, the code in busname_trigger_notify() and socket_trigger_notify() is altered to become more alike.

For all other files leave the line width at 79 as before. This is a good idea
since we generally don't want text files such as catalog files, unit files or
README/NEWS files to be line-broken at 119 since they are regularly browsed on
text terminals.
While we are at it, also add a couple of comments to the various files.
(Note that .editorconfig doesn't carry line-width information, simply because
the specification doesn't know the concept.)
After all, the masked unit file error might be returned when enqueuing a unit that is not masked but requires a masked
unit. In this case it should really be clear which unit is meant here.
