Having a bit of trouble testing this with legacy mountpoints. It asks for the passphrase during boot just fine, but I'm testing with |

Is there any concern around this existing / should we make it -p just in case?

There's definitely no harm in -p but it's definitely not necessary. /run is created extremely early in stage 1.

Just in case something reads stdin, so that `while read ds kl` doesn't miss anything

Motivation for this change
Currently, ZFS pools that do not contain the system root file system can only have encrypted datasets that use key files. They cannot use
keylocation=prompt. This PR fixes this by prompting for passphrases usingsystemd-ask-password.This PR also ensures Plymouth users can take advantage of this by enabling
systemd-ask-password-plymouth.service. I did have to steal one line from #84158, specificallymkdir /run/plymouth. This will have the added benefit of allowing other services to usesystemd-ask-passwordduring boot without breaking for plymouth users. Note that you need to setvirtualisation.useBootLoader = truein order to test plymouth withnixos-rebuild build-vm.Relevant: #84158, #88789
