For various reasons, systemplate may be read-only
or under a different owner and therefore impossible
to update the dynamic files in it.
To support such a scenario, we first link the
eight dynamic files in /etc when creating systemplate.
If this fails, we copy the files.
When creating jails, we always check that all the
dynamic files are up-to-date. If they are, nothing
further is necessary and we bind-mount, if enabled
and possible.
However, if the dynamic files are not up-to-date,
we disable bind-mounting and force linking
the files in the jails. Failing that, we copy them,
which is not ideal, but allows us to ensure the
dynamic files are up-to-date as we copy them too.
Ideally, the dynamic files in question would be
hard-link (or at least soft-linked) in systemplate
at creation. From then on we would bind-mount
the jails and everything would work perfectly and
no files would need updating. This patch is fallback
for when this scheme fails, which should be exceedingly
rare anyway, but which still ensures correct operation.
