Version 255.22 Release

This is the fourth and last stable release of the version 255 series.

The latest upstream commit this version is synced to is
  systemd-stable/v255-stable:356c54394a

Changes and Additions
---------------------
   * README.md: Removed JetBrains reference and thanks.
     Unfortunately Jetbrains pulled their support from elogind.
     Testing other IDEs and porting to the "winner" took some time.
   * busctl: validate argvs on get-property/set-property.
   * Remove elogind-user as there is no equivalent to systemd-user.
     (#294)
   * pam_elogind: Fully take out session limits that require systemd.
   * Overhaul forked out elogind sleep helper. (#299)
   * Remove docs/FILE_DESCRIPTOR_STORE.md, elogind is not the service
     manager.
   * If a tool is run on the console, prefer console logging if the
     log target was set to auto.
   * Make sleep hook script failure messaging better (#305)
   * pam_elogind: Add special treatment of openrc-user.

Fixed Bugs
----------
   * Fix incorrect man page reference from sleep.conf(5) to
     logind.conf(5).
   * process-util: do not unblock unrelated signals while forking.
   * test-format-table: Only perform tests depending on UTF-8 locale,
     when such a locale is set.
   * Do not rely on an external cgroup manager to clean-up stale
     cgroups. (#296)
   * Add inotify watches for cgroup2 session groups created by
     elogind. (#297)
   * nvidia_sleep: Do not skip suspend if no vt was found, do not
     skip switching vt back if writing to device file fails.
   * Guard __STDC_VERSION__ in any case (#306)
   * io-util: protect against INT_MAX overflow in flush_fd().
   * shared: Do not use malloc_info on musl. This fixes the build on
     musl libc. (fossdd)

Fix a bug that caused waking up to produce zombie processes (#275)

When elogind forked off a sub-process to either start a helper tool
or to suspend/hibernate the machine, it continued normal operation to
be able to respond to dbus messages from those forks.

This also means that there was no waiting for and merging of the sub
processes, leaving them behind as zombies.

This commit adds a SIGCHLD handler that responds to the subs ending,
so they are not left behind any more.
