Alan Jenkins 2d4b910383 units: DefaultDependencies already implies conflict with shutdown.target
(and system-update.target does not have DefaultDependencies=no)

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 953bf4604f units: add system-update-cleanup.service to guard against offline-update loops
Note: the name is "system-update-cleanup.service" rather than
"system-update-done.service", because it should not run normally, and also
because there's already "systemd-update-done.service", and having them named
so similarly would be confusing.

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 the system repeatedly
entered system-update.target on boot. Because of a packaging issue, the tool
that created the /system-update symlink could be installed without the service
unit that was supposed to perform the upgrade (and remove the symlink). In
fact, if there are no units in system-update.target, and /system-update symlink
is created, systemd always "hangs" in system-update.target. This is confusing
for users, because there's no feedback what is happening, and fixing this
requires starting an emergency shell somehow, and also knowing that the symlink
must be removed. We should be more resilient in this case, and remove the
symlink automatically ourselves, if there are no upgrade service to handle it.

This adds a service which is started after system-update.target is reached and
the symlink still exists. It nukes the symlink and reboots the machine. It
should subsequently boot into the default default.target.

This is a more general fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 (the packaging issue was
already fixed).

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2b656050b6 man: update the description of offline updates
- use "service" instead of "script", because various offline updaters that we have
  aren't really scripts, e.g. dnf-plugin-system-upgrade, packagekit-offline-update,
 fwupd-offline-update.
- strongly recommend After=sysinit.target, Wants=sysinit.target
- clarify a bit what should happen when multiple update services are started
- replace links to the wiki with refs to the man page that replaced it.
