Fix bug in server Debian package: Fails to start on first install
There has been a very long-standing bug where installation of the server (the "mandos" Debian package) would fail to start the server properly right after installation. It would work on manual (re)start after installation, or after reboot, and even after package purge and reinstall, it would then work the first time. The problem, it turns out, is when the new "_mandos" user (and corresponding group) is created, the D-Bus server is not reloaded, and is therefore not aware of that user, and does not recognize the user and group name in the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/mandos.conf file. The Mandos server, when it tries to start and access the D-Bus, is then not permitted to connect to its D-Bus bus name, and disables D-Bus use as a fallback measure; i.e. the server works, but it is not controllable via D-Bus commands (via mandos-ctl or mandos-monitor). The next time the D-Bus daemon is reloaded for any reason, the new user & group would become visible to the D-Bus daemon and after that, any restart of the Mandos server would succeed and it would bind to its D-Bus name properly, and thereby be visible and controllable by mandos-ctl & mandos-monitor. This was mostly invisible when using sysvinit, but systemd makes the problem visible since the systemd service file for the Mandos server is configured to not consider the Mandos server "started" until the D-Bus name has been bound; this makes the starting of the service wait for 90 seconds and then fail with a timeout error.
Fixing this should also make the Debian CI autopkgtest tests work.
* debian/mandos.postinst (configure): After creating (or renaming) user & group, reload D-Bus daemon (if present).

Add dracut(8) support
Add support for the dracut(8) system for generating initramfs image files; dracut is an alternative to the "initramfs-tools" package.
* .bzrignore (dracut-module/password-agent): Ignore new binary file. * dracut-module: New directory for the dracut module. * INSTALL (Prerequisites/Libraries/Mandos Client): Add dracut as an alternative to initramfs-tools, and also add GLib. * Makefile (DRACUTMODULE, GLIB_CFLAGS, GLIB_LIBS): New. (CPROGS): Add "dracut-module/password-agent". (DOCS): Add "dracut-module/password-agent.8mandos". (dracut-module/password-agent.8mandos): New. (dracut-module/password-agent.8mandos.xhtml): - '' - (dracut-module/password-agent): - '' - (check): Add command to run tests of password-agent(8mandos). (install-client-nokey): Also install the dracut module directory, its files, and the password-agent(8mandos) manual page. (install-client): To update the initramfs image file, run update-initramfs or dracut depending on what is installed. (uninstall-client): - '' - and also uninstall the the files in the dracut module directory, that directory itself, and the password-agent(8mandos) manual page. * debian/control (Build-Depends): Add "libglib2.0-dev (>=2.40)". (Package: mandos-client/Depends): Add "dracut (>= 044+241-3)" as an alternative dependency to initramfs-tools. (Package: mandos-client/Conflicts): New; set to "dracut-config-generic". (debian/mandos-client.README.Debian): Document alternative commands to update the initramfs image for when dracut is used. * debian/mandos-client.postinst (update_initramfs): Use alternative commands to update the initramfs image for when dracut is used. * debian/tests/control (password-agent, password-agent-suid): Add two new tests. * dracut-module/ask-password-mandos.path: New. * dracut-module/ask-password-mandos.service: - '' - * dracut-module/cmdline-mandos.sh: - '' - * dracut-module/module-setup.sh: - '' - * dracut-module/password-agent.c: - '' - * dracut-module/password-agent.xml: - '' - * initramfs-unpack: Use the dracut "skipcpio" command, if available. Also be more flexible and try hard to detect where compressed data starts. * plugins.d/mandos-client.xml (SECURITY): Be more precise that the mandos-client binary might not always be setuid, but that the program assumes that it has been started that way. * plugins.d/password-prompt.c: Add new "--prompt" option. (conflict_detection): First try to detect the new PID file of plymouth. (main): Define and use new "prompt" variable. * plugins.d/password-prompt.xml (SYNOPSIS): Show new --prompt option. (DESCRIPTION): Describe new behavior of looking for plymouth PID file. (OPTIONS): Document new "--prompt" option. (ENVIRONMENT): Clarify that the CRYPTTAB_SOURCE and CRYPTTAB_NAME environment variables are not used if the --prompt option is used. Remove unnecessarily specific details about where the CRYPTTAB_SOURCE and CRYPTTAB_NAME comes from, since this can now be either initramfs-tools or dracut. (SEE ALSO): Remove superfluous crypttab(5) reference, and add commas to separate the other references. * plugins.d/plymouth.c: Add new "--prompt" and "--debug" options. (debug): New global flag. (fprintf_plus): New function, used for debug output. (exec_and_wait): Add extra "const" to "argv" argument. (main): Define and use new "prompt" variable. Add debug output. (main/options, main/parse_opt): New; used to parse options. * plugins.d/plymouth.xml (SYNOPSIS): Show new options. (OPTIONS): Document new options. (ENVIRONMENT): Clarify that the cryptsource and crypttarget environment variables are not used if the --prompt option is used. Remove unnecessarily specific details about where the cryptsource and crypttarget comes from, since this can now be either initramfs-tools or dracut. (EXAMPLE): Add an example using an option. (SEE ALSO): Remove superfluous crypttab(5) reference. * plugins.d/splashy.xml (ENVIRONMENT): Clarify that the cryptsource and crypttarget environment variables are not used if the --prompt option is used. Remove unnecessarily specific details about where the cryptsource and crypttarget comes from, since this can now be either initramfs-tools or dracut. (SEE ALSO): Remove superfluous crypttab(5) reference. * plugins.d/usplash.xml (ENVIRONMENT): Clarify that the cryptsource and crypttarget environment variables are not used if the --prompt option is used. Remove unnecessarily specific details about where the cryptsource and crypttarget comes from, since this can now be either initramfs-tools or dracut. (SEE ALSO): Remove superfluous crypttab(5) reference.
