the cgroups experimental feature does not work properly without this because we do not stop subdaemons when the main daemon is shut down. systemd needs the assigned cgroups to be empty to restart the daemon and thus cannot cleanly restart the daemon if any connections exist. starting a fresh unit for each connection creates a new cgroup every time instead of sharing any delegations and thus solves the problem. fixes #1030 Change-Id: Id6c458aad30eaa08c3609ac8280a7dde8e8f3cf9

| Lix daemons are now fully socket-activated on systemd setups |
|
Miscellany |
|
When launched by systemd, Lix no longer uses a persistent daemon process and uses systemd socket
activation instead. This is necessary to support the cgroups and auto-allocate-uids features
and may improve observability of daemon behavior with common systemd-based monitoring solutions.
The old behavior with a single persistent daemon is still available, but disabled by default. It is not possible to enable both a persistent daemon and socket activation, starting one stops the other automatically. Existing installations should not require any changes when they're updated.
