Drop support for sysvinit scripts

As announced by a few releases now, finally drop support for
sysvinit scripts.
Keep rc-local generator for now, as it's really a distinct
feature even though from the same era.

<title>Description</title>
<para><emphasis>Note: this component is deprecated and scheduled for removal. Please replace remaining
SysV init scripts with native unit files.</emphasis></para>
<para><filename>systemd-sysv-generator</filename> is a generator that creates wrapper .service units for
<ulink url="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit">System V init</ulink> scripts in
<filename>/etc/init.d/*</filename> at boot and when configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This
allows <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
support them similarly to native units.</para>

headers</ulink> in SysV init scripts are interpreted, and the ordering specified in the header is turned
into dependencies between the generated unit and other units. The LSB facilities
<literal>$remote_fs</literal>, <literal>$network</literal>, <literal>$named</literal>,
<literal>$portmap</literal>, <literal>$time</literal> are supported and will be turned into dependencies
on specific native systemd targets. See
