Closes #58


          Add new systemd user unit services

349dc3c

This commit for the new "systemd" (1) snowblock includes user service (2)
units (3) to

1. automount the "sync" gocryptfs (4) volume located in the Dropbox (5)
folder receiving the password stored in the GNOME Keyring (6) via
the "secret-tool" ("libsecret" (7)).
2. automatically run a instance of the "ssh-agent" (8) using the
"$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" and let systemd manage the "$SSH_AGENT_PID env.

The new snowblock includes a documentation to describe the requirements
for the "igloosync-dropbox.service" file. It contains information

* about how to create the required "gocryptfs" password stored- and
received via "secret-tool"
* about how to configure FUSE (9) (libfuse (10)) with the "/etc/fuse.conf"
  file to allow non-root users to specify the "allow_other" or
  "allow_root" mount options which overrides the security measure
  restricting file access to the filesystem owner, so that all users
  (including root) can access the files.

>>> snowsaw core plugin configuration

>>>> clean

The target path "~/.config/systemd/user" is cleaned before the "link"
core plugin execution.

>>>> link

The target paths "~/.config/systemd/user" for all unit files will be
created by snowsaw if they doesn't exist yet.

The "igloosync-dropbox.service" unit file will be linked for the
"archbook" and "igloo" hosts while the "ssh-agent.service" file is
linked by default.
