Release notes 

Fixes:
------

* Rely on decompressors reading from their standard input rather
  than redundantly passing them the input file on their command
  line. This works better with downstream AppArmor confinement of
  decompressors.

* Fix invalid syntax in tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf when configured with
  --disable-cache-owner.

* Make seccomp sandbox allow sched_getaffinity, sometimes used by
  xz.

* Check for mandb_nfmt and mandb_tfmt in the manual page hierarchy
  as documented, not in the current directory. This was broken by
  the working-directory-handling changes in 2.8.3. Note that this
  change means that "man -l" will never use an external formatter
  (which was never documented behaviour and was surely a bad idea).

* Make seccomp sandbox allow some shared memory operations across
  the board rather than just when ESET File Security is in use; the
  Astrill VPN seems to require something similar, and there are
  doubtless other such preload hacks.

* Some versions of ESET File Security call msgget and msgsnd; if
  this program is in use, then allow those.
