[systemd-devel] [PATCH 2/2] logind: Support logind.conf.d directories in the usual search paths

This makes it possible to drop in logind configuration snippets from a
package or other configuration management mechanism.

Add documentation to the header of /etc/logind.conf pointing the user at
/etc/logind.conf.d/*.conf.

Introduce a new helper, conf_parse_many, to parse configuration files in
a search path.
---

Revised to keep /etc/systemd/logind.conf around, and to prefer the
entire series of conf.d directories over /etc/systemd/logind.conf, as
suggested by Lennart at
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024122.html

If this approach looks sensible, I'll send further patches for various
other tools with configuration files, such as journald and timesyncd;
however, I wanted to establish the pattern and the common helper
function first.  With the config_parse_many helper, further changes like
this should only require a one-line change to the actual tools, plus
documentation.

+                they reside in. If multiple files specify the same option, the

+                file override entries in
+                <filename>/etc/systemd/logind.conf</filename>. It is
+                recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number and
+                a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.</para>
