0bf7e49148 examples: fix unset OPTIONS variable warning in systemd services
Modify chronyd.service to handle cases where OPTIONS is undefined,
which occurs when /etc/sysconfig/chronyd doesn't exist or doesn't set
the variable. This prevents the warning:

 "chronyd.service: Referenced but unset environment variable
  evaluates to an empty string: OPTIONS"

cb1118456b main: add support for systemd notification
On Linux, if the NOTIFY_SOCKET variable is set, send a "READY=1"
and "STOPPING=1" message to the Unix domain socket after initialization
and before finalization respectively. This is used with the systemd
"notify" service type as documented in the sd_notity(3) man page. It's
a recommended alternative to the "forking" service type, which does not
need the PID file to determine the main process.

Support pathname Unix sockets only. Abstract sockets don't seem to be
used by systemd for notifications since version 212.

Switch the example services to the notify type, but keep the PID
file. It's still useful to prevent start of other chronyd instances.
systemd doesn't seem to care about the content of the file and should
just remove it in case chronyd didn't terminate cleanly.

bc76291750 examples: don't set ProcSubset=pid in systemd unit files
This option seems to break detection of the FIPS mode, which is needed
by gnutls.

Allow writing logfiles (enabled by logdir or -l option) to /var/log and
don't require /var/spool to exist.

83f96efdfd examples: harden systemd services
Add various settings to the example chronyd and chrony-wait services to
decrease the exposure reported by the "systemd-analyze security"
command. The original exposure was high as the analyzer does not check
the actual process (e.g. that it dropped the root privileges or that it
has its own seccomp filter).

Limit read-write access to /run, /var/lib/chrony, and /var/spool.
Access to /run (instead of /run/chrony) is needed for the refclock
socket expected by gpsd.

The mailonchange directive is most likely to break as it executes
/usr/sbin/sendmail, which can do unexpected operations depending on the
implementation. It should work with a setuid/setgid binary, but it is
not expected to write outside of /var/spool and the private /tmp.

08fd011b6a examples: remove /var from PIDFile in chronyd.service
Recent systemd versions complain when loading a unit using a PIDFile
that relies on the /var/run -> /run symlink.

7b7eb0a6e5 examples: improve systemd unit files
Add the PrivateTmp, ProtectHome, and ProtectSystem directives to better
secure the system from chronyd. It's taken from the Debian chrony
package.
