This new output mode formats all timestamps using the usual format_timestamp()
call we use pretty much everywhere else. Timestamps formatted this way are some
ways more useful than traditional syslog timestamps as they include weekday,
month and timezone information, while not being much longer. They are also not
locale-dependent. The primary advantage however is that they may be passed
directly to journalctl's --since= and --until= switches as soon as #3869 is
merged.
While we are at it, let's also add "short-unix" to shell completion.
But also keep the old name as (undocumented) compatibility around.
The reload-or-try-restart was documented to be a NOP if the unit is not running, since the previous commits this is
also implemented. The old name suggests that the "try" logic only applies to restarting. Fix this, by moving the "try-"
to the front, to indicate that the whole option is a NOP if the service isn't running.
Snapshots were never useful or used for anything. Many systemd
developers that I spoke to at systemd.conf2015, didn't even know they
existed, so it is fairly safe to assume that this type can be deleted
without harm.
The fundamental problem with snapshots is that the state of the system
is dynamic, devices come and go, users log in and out, timers fire...
and restoring all units to some state from the past would "undo"
those changes, which isn't really possible.
Tested by creating a snapshot, running the new binary, and checking
that the transition did not cause errors, and the snapshot is gone,
and snapshots cannot be created anymore.
New systemctl says:
Unknown operation snapshot.
Old systemctl says:
Failed to create snapshot: Support for snapshots has been removed.
IgnoreOnSnaphost settings are warned about and ignored:
Support for option IgnoreOnSnapshot= has been removed and it is ignored

'set-property' was missing from the list of known command.
Also a list of unit names will be proposed as next argument.
However no support on property names is provided since it would
require a hard coded list of them.
I tried to use 'systemctl --all list-units' to filter unit files, but
this always filters out unit files which are not loaded. We want to complete
systemctl start with those units too, so this approach is not going to work.
New version is rather slow, but hopefully correct.
Templates can be [re]enabled, on their own if the have DefaultInstance set,
and with an instance suffix in all cases. Propose just the template name
ending in @, to underline the instance suffix may have to be appended.
Likewise for start/restart.
This means that sometimes superflous units that one will not really
want to operate on will be proposed, but this seems better than
proposing a very incomplete set of names.

Since c6a373a263, we might encounter unit templates via the
'list-units' verb. These aren't restartable (and we throw errors), so
make sure they're filtered out of the completion options.

This fixes the issue noted by Zbigniew in most cases.
if a unit's name is enclosed in single quotes completion still
will not happen after the first `\'.

I think that it is better to return good results slightly more slowly,
than partial quickly. Also reading from disk seems fast enough. Even
the delay on first try with completely cold cache is acceptable.
This is just for bash, 'cause zsh was already doing this.
