Subject: [PATCH 1/5] test/system: Test that group and user IDs work

These tests assume that the group and user information on the host
operating system can be provided by different plugins for the GNU Name
Service Switch (or NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library.  eg., on
enterprise FreeIPA set-ups.  However, it's expected that everything
inside the Toolbx container will be provided by /etc/group, /etc/passwd,
/etc/shadow, etc..

While /etc/group and /etc/passwd can be read by any user, /etc/shadow
can only be read by root.  However, it's awkward to use sudo(8) in the
test cases involving /etc/shadow, because they ensure that root and
$USER don't need passwords to authenticate inside the container, and
sudo(8) itself depends on that.  If sudo(8) is used, the test suite can
behave unexpectedly if Toolbx didn't set up the container correctly.
eg., it can get blocked waiting for a password.

Hence, 'podman unshare' is used instead to enter the container's initial
user namespace, where $USER from the host appears as root.  This is
sufficient because the test cases only need to read /etc/shadow inside
the Toolbx container.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Deprecate the --monitor-host option of 'init-container'

The --monitor-host option was added to the 'init-container' command in
commit 8b84b5e4604921fa to accommodate Podman versions older than 1.2.0
that didn't have the '--dns none' and '--no-hosts' options for
'podman create'.  These options are necessary to keep the Toolbx
container's /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts files synchronized with
those of the host.

Note that Podman 1.2.0 was already available a few months before
commit 8b84b5e4604921fa introduced the --monitor-host option.  The
chances of someone using an older Podman back then was already on the
decline, and it's very unlikely that a container created with such a
Podman has survived till this date.

Commit b6b484fa792b442a raised the minimum required Podman version to
1.4.0, and made the '--dns none' and '--no-hosts' options a hard
requirement.  The minimum required Podman version was again raised
recently in commit 8e80dd5db1e6f40b to 1.6.4.  Therefore, these days,
there's no need to separately use the --monitor-host option of
'init-container' for newly created containers to indicate that the
Podman version wasn't older than 1.2.0.

Given all this, it's time to stop using the --monitor-host option of
'init-container', and assume that it's always set.  The option is still
accepted to retain compatibility with existing Toolbx containers.

For containers that were created with the --monitor-host option, a
deprecation notice will be shown as:
  $ podman start --attach CONTAINER

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] cmd/initContainer: Bind mount locations regardless of
 /run/host/etc

Bind mounting the locations at runtime doesn't really have anything to
do with whether /run/host/etc is present inside the Toolbx container.

The only possible exception could have been /etc/machine-id, but it
isn't, because the bind mount is only performed if the source at
/run/host/etc/machine-id is present.

This is a historical mistake that has persisted for a long time, since,
in practice, /run/host/etc will almost always exist inside the Toolbx
container.  It's time to finally correct it.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] cmd/initContainer: Simplify code by removing a function
 parameter

Until now, configureUsers() was pushing the burden of deciding whether
to add a new user or modify an existing one on the callers, even though
it can trivially decide itself.  Involving the caller loosens the
encapsulation of the user configuration logic by spreading it across
configureUsers() and it's caller, and adds an extra function parameter
that needs to be carefully set and is vulnerable to programmer errors.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] cmd/initContainer: Simplify removing the user's password

It's one less invocation of an external command, which is good because
spawning a new process is generally expensive.

One positive side-effect of this is that on some Active Directory
set-ups, the entry point no longer fails with:
  Error: failed to remove password for user login@company.com: failed
      to invoke passwd(1)

... because of:
  # passwd --delete login@company.com
  passwd: Libuser error at line: 210 - name contains invalid char `@'.

This is purely an accident, and isn't meant to be an intential change to
support Active Directory.  Tools like useradd(8) and usermod(8) from
Shadow aren't meant to work with Active Directory users, and, hence, it
can still break in other ways.  For that, one option is to expose $USER
from the host operating system to the Toolbx container through a Varlink
interface that can be used by nss-systemd inside the container.

Based on an idea from Si.
