[PATCH v2 0/6] maintenance: use packaged systemd units

[Max Gautier <mg@max.gautier.name>]

* Distribute the systemd timers used by the `git maintenance start` with
  the systemd scheduler as part of git, rather than writing them in
  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

This allows users to override the units if they wish, and is more
in-line with the usual practices of distribution for systemd units.

We also move away from using the random minute, and instead rely on
systemd features to achieve the same goal (see patch 2). This allows us
to go back to using unit templating for the timers. This is also a
prerequisite to have static unit files.

Note that even if we really need more specific OnCalendar= settings for
each timer, we should still do it that way, but instead distribute
override alongside the template, for instance for weekly:

/usr/lib/systemd-user/git-maintenance@daily.timer.d/override.conf:
[Timer]
OnCalendar=<daily specific calendar spec>

The cleanup code for the units written in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is adapted,
and takes care of not removing legitimate user overrides, by checking
the file start.

Testing:
The simplest way to simulate having the units in /usr/lib is probably to
copy them in /etc/systemd/user.

Changes since v1:
- Reorganization of the commits and their messages to try to address
  review comments
- Dropped the DON'T APPLY PATCH, added a TODO to the cleanup code
  instead
- Updated the git-maintenance tests to work with the new logic.
- Conditional installation of the units files
- Fixing some style/consistency issues
- template the systemd service file to use $(bindir)

         maintenance: update systemd scheduler docs
     
    +    The `git maintenance` systemd scheduler no longer writes units in
    +    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
    +
    +    Describe the new behavior.
    +    Instead of explaining manual ways to modify the timer, suggest the
    +    systemd standard tool: `systemctl edit`.
