Subject: [PATCH] core: add a new unit file setting CollectMode= for tweaking
the GC logic
Right now, the option only takes one of two possible values "inactive"
or "inactive-or-failed", the former being the default, and exposing same
behaviour as the status quo ante. If set to "inactive-or-failed" units
may be collected by the GC logic when in the "failed" state too.
This logic should be a nicer alternative to using the "-" modifier for
ExecStart= and friends, as the exit data is collected and logged about
and only removed when the GC comes along. This should be useful in
particular for per-connection socket-activated services, as well as
"systemd-run" command lines that shall leave no artifacts in the
system.
I was thinking about whether to expose this as a boolean, but opted for
an enum instead, as I have the suspicion other tweaks like this might be
a added later on, in which case we extend this setting instead of having
to add yet another one.
Also, let's add some documentation for the GC logic.
(cherry-picked from commit 5afe510c89f26b0e721b276a0e78af914b47f0b0)
Resolves: #1817576
