Crust: don't power off right after waking up with power button

@minlexx posted an idea for a fix here:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/logind.conf.html HandlePowerKey= ?

elogind in our case, but anyway

TODO:

• adjust the config
• echo mem > /sys/power/state
• press power button
• verify that system does not shutdown
• report back here
• create a MR to automatically adjust the config in postmarketos-base post-install

added difficulty::easy help wanted labels

mentioned in merge request !1163 (merged)

I tried to set HandlePowerKey=ignore in logind.conf. It helps. Waking up with the power button doesn't power off the device anymore.

But setting the config in postmarketos-base.post-install doesn't help, because postmarketos-base doesn't depend on elogind. So when building an image postmarketos-base is installed ealier than elogind, when there is no /etc/elogind/logind.conf file yet. post-update will help with an existing installation, but won't help with building a new image either.

Also it just doesn't seem right to me when one package changes file installed by another package...

Won't it be better to fork elogind package from Alpine, and change logind.conf there?

Better solution is to create postmarketos-base-elogind or device-pine64-pinephone-elogind subpackage with install_if="$pkgname elogind" that installs file 00-postmarketos.conf (or 00-pine64-pinephone.conf) with HandlePowerKey=ignore as contents to /etc/elogind/logind.conf.d/ (or smth like that).

AFAIK elogind doesn't support logind.conf.d directory, there is only the file logind.conf.
