Every place where the paths for mdadm or mdmon is explicit,
it should use the BINDIR setting, not "/sbin/".

1/ Add systemd shutdown script to ensure DDF and IMSM are
clean before we actually shutdown
2/ Get udev to tell systemd to run the mdmon@mdXXX.service
units when a member array appears.
If we boot off a member array (with dracut at least),
the mdmon started in the initramfs will lose track of
/sys etc, so we need to restart it.
systemd will try to forget about it too (but not actually
kill it because we said not to do this).
Having udev tell it to start it will allow a new mdmon to
run which can see /sys, and systemd will know about it.
3/ Always use --offroot and --takeover when starting mdmon with
systemd
--offroot is needed else shutdown will hang.
--takeover is needed incase an mdmon was started earlier
(e.g. in initramfs).
Neither hurt if they aren't actually needed.

Mdadm does not wait enough time when mdmon is started by systemd.
It causes various problems with behaviour of a RAID volume with external metadata.
For example: mdmon does not update a value of checkpoint during migration
and second RAID5 volume is read-only after reboot done during
container reshape (both problems occur with IMSM matadata).
If a type of process start-up is changed to 'forking', systemctl will
wait until mdmon (parent) process exits after calling fork.
This way mdmon will always be fully initialized after start_mdmon
and these problems will not occur.
In this case it is recommended to add a path to PIDFile, so that systemd
does not have to guess a PID of the mdmon process.

Redirecting output to /dev/null is unnecessary and hides any error
messages there might be. So leave as defaults which are none,
journal, inherit.

As mdmon doesn't inherit environment from mdadm when it is started
by system, it cannot inherit IMSM_NO_PLATFORM.
But if an imsm array as assembled then mdmon really should handle it
whether there is a platform present or not.
So always set this var.

While not strictly necessary for systemd, it is cleaner to avoid
forking when running from a management daemon. So add a --foreground
option to mdmon.

If launching mdmon via systemctl fails, we fall back to the old method
of fork/exec. This allows for having mdmon launched via systemctl
which avoids problems with it getting killed by systemd due to it
ending up in the parent's cgroup (udev).
