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.

Implement this with a proper state machine, so that newlines and
escaped chars can appear in string assignments. This should bring the
parser much closer to shell.
<Lekensteyn> The 198 announcement mentions
"/etc/systemd/systemd/foobar.service.d/*.conf", is that a
typo? I only have a /etc/systemd/system/. Is there a
manpage describing this new feature?
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.
