Add a new --no-reconfigure flag to 'networkctl reload' that reloads
.network and .netdev files from disk without reconfiguring any network
interfaces. This may be useful to avoid reconfiguring multiple interfaces
simultaneously when multiple .network files are updated, or when an updated
.network file is applied to multiple interfaces.
On the networkd side, manager_reload() gains a reconfigure_links parameter
that gates the per-link reconfiguration loop. A new io.systemd.Network.Reload
varlink method is added that exposes this as an optional reconfigureLinks
boolean (defaults to true). Both plain 'networkctl reload' and
'--no-reconfigure' now unconditionally call this method first. If an older
networkd returns MethodNotFound, plain reload falls back to
io.systemd.service.Reload for backward compatibility; '--no-reconfigure'
fails with a clear error in that case.
When `--json` option is specified, "status" and "list" commands gives
the same information, as originally "list" just gives partial
information of "status" in different format.
The words and cword variables are not localized in all Bash completion
scripts that call _init_completion.
cur, prev, words, and cword (and split if using the -s flag) are all
variables that should be localized in Bash completion scripts before
calling _init_completion (even if they don't otherwise appear in the
calling script). This is done for cur and prev, but not for words and
cword. Letting words and cword remain unlocalized may clobber variables
the user is using for other purposes, which is bad.
This issue can be resolved by declaring words and cword as local
variables.
Resolves#19188.
awk is an external program, and it is better to stick to shell built-ins.
Also, even with external awk, sort -u is redundant, because the shell does
this on its own.
