This introduces a bunch of facilities: 1. The factory-reset.target unit that requests a factory reset is now complemented by factory-reset-now.target that executes it at next boot. 2. This latter is added to the initial transaction via the new trivial systemd-factory-reset-generator. 3. A tool systemd-factory-reset has been added to query, request, cancel, complete factory reset operations (via EFI variables). Two of these are wrapped into units that are plugged into factory-reset.target and factory-reset-now.target respectively. The tool also provides a simple Varlink API. This should make things a lot cleaner, and both be useful as explicit implementation on UEFI, and as template + hookpoints for alternative implementations on non-UEFI.
