CHANGES WITH 212:
* sd-login gained new calls

- connection. They operate similar to their sd_pid_get_xyz()

* PID 1 will now maintain a system-wide system state engine
* systemd-nspawn gained a new --network-macvlan= setting to
set up a private macvlan interface for the
- container. Similar, systemd-networkd gained a new
+ container. Similarly, systemd-networkd gained a new
Kind=macvlan setting in .netdev files.
* systemd-networkd now supports configuring local addresses

* "loginctl seat-status" will now show the master device of a

- similar to "--unit=" but filters for user units rather than
