vasilito cee25393d8 fix: boot process improvements — dependency cycle, INIT_NOTIFY, probing loop, and log spam fixes
- Fix P15-8-init-cycle-detection.patch: replace visiting+error with seen+silent-skip
  to eliminate 11 false-positive 'dependency cycle detected' errors on shared deps
- Fix P0-daemon-fix-init-notify-unwrap.patch: remove eprintln! for missing
  INIT_NOTIFY (expected for oneshot_async services, ~7 daemons affected)
- Fix driver-manager hotplug loop: add PERMANENTLY_SKIPPED static set shared
  between hotplug handler and DriverConfig::probe() to stop infinite re-probing
  of Fatal/NotSupported/deferred-exhausted device+driver pairs (e.g. ided)
- Fix driver-manager log_timeline: suppress repeated EPIPE/ENOENT errors with
  AtomicI32 dedup and AtomicBool one-shot guards for boot timeline JSON
- Add driver-manager SIGTERM handler, ACPI bus registration, --status mode,
  driver reap loop, graceful shutdown, and reduced deferred retries (30→3)

Meson version policy

Aims

  • Stable versions of GLib should be buildable from source on the majority of systems which are still supported by their vendors, without requiring the user to manually build a number of dependencies
  • Unstable versions of GLib should be able to take advantage of newer build system features where they would make maintenance of GLib easier, without prejudicing the other aims

Policy

  • Stable branches of GLib will not change their Meson dependency after the first release of that stable series
  • Unstable branches of GLib can bump their Meson dependency if
    • at least that version of Meson is currently available in the freedesktop SDK; and
    • at least that version of Meson is currently available in Debian Testing, or
    • the Python version required by the new Meson dependency is available in Debian Stable and the oldest currently-supported Ubuntu LTS
  • The version of Meson used by GLib should be pinned and pre-installed in the CI Dockerfiles so that GLib is guaranteed to be built against the expected version

The reasoning behind allowing a version bump if the Python which Meson depends on is available in Debian Stable is that its straightforward to install a more recent Meson version using pip.

The reasoning behind requiring the version of Meson to be available in the freedesktop SDK is that it is used to build GLib on nightly pipelines in gnome-build-meta, which is used to test GLib against multiple third party projects.
