man: remove recommendation to pull in slices from slices.target 

That recommendation is likely to cause more trouble and for pretty
much all end-user units is not useful. Let's recommend relying on
the implicit dependency instead.

Fixes #10015.

<para>Adding slice units to <filename>slices.target</filename> is generally not
necessary. Instead, when some unit that uses <varname>Slice=</varname> is started, the
specified slice will be started automatically. Adding
<varname>WantedBy=slices.target</varname> lines to the <literal>[Install]</literal>
section should only be done for units that need to be always active. In that case care
needs to be taken to avoid creating a loop through the automatic dependencies on
"parent" slices.</para>
