[PATCH 0/1] maintenance: fix test t7900-maintenance.sh

[Lénaïc Huard]

The test t7900-maintenance.sh seems to be currently broken on the
master branch on some platforms.
Since commit b681b191, one of the test leverages `systemd-analyze
verify` utility to check the correctness of systemd unit files
generated by git.

But, whereas it works on Arch Linux with a recent version of systemd,
it fails on Ubuntu 18.04 and systemd 237 with this error [1]:

  Failed to create /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-44.scope/init.scope control group: Permission denied
  Failed to initialize manager: Permission denied

It also fails on CentOS 7.9 and systemd 219 with this error [2]:

    Failed to open /dev/tty0: Permission denied
    Failed to load systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service: Invalid argument

This patch changes the prerequisite used in the test to check if
`system-analyze verify` can be used.
As a result, this step should be now skipped on the two
above-mentioned platforms instead of making the test fail.

[PATCH 1/1] maintenance: fix test t7900-maintenance.sh

[Lénaïc Huard]

Commit b681b191 introduced the support of systemd timers for git
maintenance.
A test is leveraging the `systemd-analyze verify` utility to verify the
correctness of the systemd unit files generated by git.

But on some systems, although the `systemd-analyze` tool is installed
and supports the `verify` subcommand, it fails with some permission
errors.

So, instead of only checking if the `verify` subcommand exists, a more
reliable way of detecting whether `systemd-analyze verify` can be used
is to try to use it.

The SYSTEMD_ANALYZE prerequisite is now trying to run `systemd-analyze
verify` on a systemd unit file which is shipped by systemd itself.
We can reasonably think that, on systemd hosts, this file is present and
valid.
