This renames systemd-boot-system-token.service to
systemd-boot-random-seed.service and conditions it less strictly.
Previously, the job of the service was to write a "system token" EFI
variable if it was missing. It called "bootctl --graceful random-seed"
for that. With this change we condition it more liberally: instead of
calling it only when the "system token" EFI variable isn't set, we call
it whenever a boot loader interface compatible boot loader is used. This
means, previously it was invoked on the first boot only: now it is
invoked at every boot.
This doesn#t change the command that is invoked. That's because
previously already the "bootctl --graceful random-seed" did two things:
set the system token if not set yet *and* refresh the random seed in the
ESP. Previousy we put the focus on the former, now we shift the focus to
the latter.
With this simple change we can replace the logic
f913c784ad4c93894fd6cb2590738113dff5a694 added, but from a service that
can run much later and doesn't keep the ESP pinned.
(cherry picked from commit 921fc451cb7ce29467c5d87346db2b8bb72fdf18)

+
+ <para><filename>systemd-boot-random-seed.service</filename> is a system service that automatically
+ refreshes the boot loader random seed stored in the EFI System Partition (ESP), from the Linux kernel
+ entropy pool. The boot loader random seed is primarily consumed and updated by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> from the
+ UEFI environemnt (or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-stub</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> if the
+ former is not used, but the latter is), and passed as initial RNG seed to the OS. It is an effective way
+ to ensure the OS comes up with a random pool that is fully initialized.</para>
+
+ <para>The service also automatically generates a 'system token' to store in an EFI variable in the
+ system's NVRAM. The boot loader may then combine the on-disk random seed and the system token by
+ cryptographic hashing, and pass it to the OS it boots as initialization seed for its entropy pool. Note:
+ the random seed stored in the ESP is refreshed on <emphasis>every</emphasis> reboot ensuring that
+ multiple subsequent boots will boot with different seeds. On the other hand, the system token is
+ generated randomly <emphasis>once</emphasis>, and then persistently stored in the system's EFI variable
+ storage, ensuring the same disk image won't result in the same series of boot loader seed values if used
+ on multiple systems in parallel.</para>
+
+ <para>The <filename>systemd-boot-random-seed.service</filename> unit invokes the <command>bootctl
+ random-seed</command> command, which updates the random seed in the ESP, and initializes the system
+ token if it's not initialized yet. The service is conditionalized so that it is run only when a boot
+ loader is used that implements the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE">Boot Loader
+ Interface</ulink>.</para> <para>For further details see

+ <para>Note the relationship between <filename>systemd-boot-random-seed.service</filename> and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-random-seed</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The

+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-stub</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>), the
+ latter maintains a random seed consumed and updated by the OS itself. The former ensures that the OS has
+ a filled entropy pool already during earliest boot when regular disk access is not available yet
+ (i.e. when the OS random seed cannot be loaded yet). The latter is processed much later, once writable
+ disk access is available. Thus it cannot be used to seed the initial boot phase, but typically has much
+ higher quality of entropy. Both files are consumed and updated at boot, but at different
+ times. Specifically:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>In UEFI mode, the <filename>systemd-boot</filename> or
+ <filename>systemd-stub</filename> components load the boot loader random seed off the ESP, hash it with

+ kernel which writes it to its entropy pool.</para></listitem>

- <para><filename>systemd-boot-system-token.service</filename> is a system service that automatically
- generates a 'system token' to store in an EFI variable in the system's NVRAM and a random seed to store
- on the EFI System Partition ESP on disk. The boot loader may then combine these two randomized data
- fields by cryptographic hashing, and pass it to the OS it boots as initialization seed for its entropy
- pool. The random seed stored in the ESP is refreshed on each reboot ensuring that multiple subsequent
- boots will boot with different seeds. The 'system token' is generated randomly once, and then
- persistently stored in the system's EFI variable storage.</para>
-
- <para>The <filename>systemd-boot-system-token.service</filename> unit invokes the <command>bootctl

-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>A boot loader is used that implements the <ulink
- url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE">Boot Loader Interface</ulink> (which defines the 'system
- token' concept).</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Either a 'system token' was not set yet, or the boot loader has not passed the OS a
- random seed yet (and thus most likely has been missing the random seed file in the
- ESP).</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>The system is not running in a VM environment. This case is explicitly excluded since
- on VM environments the ESP backing storage and EFI variable storage is typically not physically
- separated and hence booting the same OS image in multiple instances would replicate both, thus reusing
- the same random seed and 'system token' among all instances, which defeats its purpose. Note that it's
- still possible to use boot loader random seed provisioning in this mode, but the automatic logic
- implemented by this service has no effect then, and the user instead has to manually invoke the
