Lennart Poettering cbf9a1c888 homed: add concept for "adopting" an existing homedir locally ...

Currently homed scans /home/ via inotify for new .home + .homedir/
popping up to register as local users. Let's also add an explicit way to
request this form of "adoption": a bus call that takes a path and that
makes a home dir activatable locally.

(Usecase: you cross boot between two systems – let's say your traditional
fedora and your ParticleOS – and want to use the same homedir from both:
simply mount the /home dir from the other somewhere, and then hit
"homectl adopt /somewhere/lennart.home" and you have the user locally
too).
