Print the legend (the column headers and the footer with hints) by
default even to non-tty output. People seem to get confused by the
difference when they redirect the output.
Add a parameter to suppress the printing of the legend.

Add --root=<root> for enable/disable/is-enabled systemctl commands. To
be used for easily enable / disable systemd services for a chroot,
without running systemctl inside chroot.
This adds support for executing systemctl operations remotely or as
privileged user while still running systemctl itself unprivileged and
locally.
This currently requires a D-Bus patch to work properly.

Lennart has convinced me that it's more helpful to participate than to sit
on the sidelines and complain. So, hello everyone.
I'm starting by giving up the battle to change the systemctl "isolate"
command to "switch-to". Can't win them all. :) I've got a suggested patch
to expand the documentation a bit, hopefully making it more clear to new
systemd users.
Is there an easy way to list all units where AllowIsolate is enabled? That
should be included alongside this, I think.
Don't try to merge devices that have been created via dependencies when
they appear in the system and can be recognized as the same. Instead,
simply continue to maintain them independently of each other, however
with the same state cycle. Why? Because otherwise we'd have a hard time
to seperate the dependencies after the devices are unplugged again and
we hence cannot be sure anymore that next time the device is plugged in
it will carry the same names.
Example: if one depndency refers to dev-sda.device and another one to
dev-by-id-xxxyyy.device we only learn at time of plug in of the device
that it is actually the same device that was ment. In the moment the
device is unplugged again we won't know anymore their relation to each
other and the next time the harddisk is plugged it might even appear as
dev-by-id-xxxyyy.device and dev-sdb.service. To ensure the dependencies
continue to have the meaning they were intended to have let's hence keep
the .device objects seperate all the time, even when they are plugged
in.
This patch also introduces a new Following= property which points from
the various .device units of a specific device to the main .device unit
for it. This can be used by the client side to figure out the relation
of the .device units to each other and even filter units from display.
