A call to pam_namespace is required so that children of user@.service end up in
a namespace as expected. pam_namespace gets called as part of the stack that
creates a session (login, sshd, gdm, etc.) and those processes end up in a
namespace, but it also needs to be called from our stack which is parallel and
descends from pid1 itself.
The call to pam_namespace is similar to the call to pam_keyinit that was added
in ab79099. The pam stack for user@.service
creates a new session which is disconnected from the parent environment. Both
calls are not suitable for inclusion in the shared part of the stack (e.g.
@system-auth on Fedora/RHEL systems), because for example su/sudo/runuser
should not include them.
Fixes#17043 (Allow to execute user service into dedicated namespace
if pam_namespace enabled)

Setting umask for user sessions via UMASK setting in /etc/login.defs is
a well-known feature. Let's make sure that user manager also runs with
this umask value.

In the first version, I wanted to use POSIX quotes with $''. But that required
'printf %q', which brings in a dependency on coreutils.
Following mcr0mmand's suggestion, ${foo@Q} is used instead, which should work
equivalently, and does not require anything new.
Tested with 'sysusers.generate-pre.sh /usr/lib/sysusers.d/*conf'. The output is
the same before and after, apart from the dovecot user with a quote.

We need to use a mix of spaces and tabs: the tabs are removed because of -EOF,
and then the spaces indent the output. Jesus.

This tweaks the sysusers.d handling logic so that 'm' entries are
now translated to a series of groupadd + useradd + usermod call.
The last usermod call is the notable change, effectively affecting
the list of secondary groups now.

There should be almost no functional change, but shellcheck complains
less. User/group descriptions with escaped characters are handled
properly.

Without that patch, on every package upgrade, a 'systemd' is forcibly appended
to passwd and group in nsswitch.conf which is not desirable for some customers.
It is required until authselect change introduction in RHEL.

Without this parameter, we would allow user@ to start if the user
has no password (i.e. the password is "locked"). But when the user does have a password,
and it is marked as expired, we would refuse to start the service.
There are other authentication mechanisms and we should not tie this service to
the password state.
The documented way to disable an *account* is to call 'chage -E0'. With a disabled
account, user@.service will still refuse to start:
