Always enable container logins

Provide a simple way to log into containers On the host, you can run $ socat unix:<path-to-container>/var/lib/login.socket -,echo=0,raw to get a login prompt. So this allows logging in even if the container has no SSH access enabled. You can also do $ socat unix:<path-to-container>/var/lib/root-shell.socket - to get a plain root shell. (This socket is only accessible by root, obviously.) This makes it easy to execute commands in the container, e.g. $ echo reboot | socat unix:<path-to-container>/var/lib/root-shell.socket -

Enable udisks2 by default The ability for unprivileged users to mount external media is useful regardless of the desktop environment. Also, since udisks2 is activated on-demand, it doesn't add any overhead if you're not using it.

Containers: Use /etc/resolv.conf supplied by the host This used to work with systemd-nspawn 203, because it bind-mounted /etc/resolv.conf (so openresolv couldn't overwrite it). Now it's just copied, so we need some special handling.

networking.useHostResolvConf = true;
sshd: Add support for socket activation By enabling ‘services.openssh.startWhenNeeded’, sshd is started on-demand by systemd using socket activation. This is particularly useful if you have a zillion containers and don't want to have sshd running permanently. Note that socket activation is not noticeable slower, contrary to what the manpage for ‘sshd -i’ says, so we might want to make this the default one day.
