tmpfiles: implement --dry-run
The idea is simple: skip the final operation that creates or removes things
or changes the attributes, but otherwise go through the rest of the code.
This results in quite a lot of fairly repetitive conditions in the low-level
code. Another approach would be to print earlier, at a higher level, but then
we'd have less precise information about what is about to happen.
