Before, one the unit file was deleted, install_context_for_removal()
would refuse to look for symlinks. But we can remove dangling symlinks
anyway.
In principle, package installation/deinstallation scripts should do
that before the unit is uninstalled, but they don't always do. Also,
a user might have added additional symlinks manually.

Patch resolves the problem that 'systemctl is-enabled' does
not work for templated units.
Without this patch, systemctl is-enabled something@abc.service
returned "No such file or directory", because it first checked
if /usr/lib/systemd/system/something@abc.service, etc. exists.
If systemctl is-enabled is called for templated units, this
check should be omitted and it should search for symlinks in
the .wants dirs right away.
This patch fixes the broken behaviour and resolves
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55318.
[zj: fixed the patch to still check for broken symlinks and
masked instances. Also removed untrue assumptions from
the patch description.]
The information about the unit for which files are being parsed
is passed all the way down. This way messages land in the journal
with proper UNIT=... or USER_UNIT=... attribution.
'systemctl status' and 'journalctl -u' not displaying those messages
has been a source of confusion for users, since the journal entry for
a misspelt setting was often logged quite a bit earlier than the
failure to start a unit.

Make sure we compare errno against positive error codes.
The ones in hwclock.c and install.c can have an impact, the
rest are unlikely to be hit or in code that isn't widely
used.
Also check that errno > 0, to help gcc know that we are
returning a negative error code.
Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first
by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second
time with the real values. We can let the compiler do
the job for us, avoiding one copy.
A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly
bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively
inlined:
$ size build/.libs/systemd
text data bss dec hex filename
before 897737 107300 2560 1007597 f5fed build/.libs/systemd
after 897873 107300 2560 1007733 f6075 build/.libs/systemd
… actually less than 1‰.
A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I
don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely
for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as
good as an assert.
This allows one templated unit to refer to another templated unit
at installation time.
Examples:
> grep WantedBy ~/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer
WantedBy=services@%i.target
> srv disable mpop@iit.timer
rm '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer'
> srv enable mpop@iit.timer
ln -s '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer' '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer'

Note: I did s/MANAGER/SYSTEMD/ everywhere, even though it makes the
patch quite verbose. Nevertheless, keeping MANAGER prefix in some
places, and SYSTEMD prefix in others would just lead to confusion down
the road. Better to rip off the band-aid now.
When looking for symlinks, it doesn't make sense to error-out if
the directory is missing. The user might delete an empty directory.
This check caused test-unit-file to fail when run before installation.
Previously generated units were always placed at the end of the search
path. With this change there will be three unit dirs instead of one, to
place generated entries at the beginning, in the middle and at the end
of the search path:
beginning: for units that need to override all configuration, regardless
of user or vendor. Example use: system-update-generator uses this to
temporarily redirect default.target.
middle: for units that need to override vendor configuration, but not
vendor configuration. Example use: /etc/fstab should override vendor
supplied configuration (think /tmp), but should not override native user
configuration.
end: does not override anything but is available as well. Possible usage
might be to convert D-Bus bus service files to native units but allowing
vendor supplied native units to win.
