Slice/ControlGroup only really makes sense for unit types which actually
have cgroups attached to them, hence move them out of the generic Unit
interface and into the specific unit type interfaces.
These fields will continue to be part of Unit though, simply because
things are a log easier that way. However, regardless how this looks
internally we should keep things clean and independent of the specific
implementation of the inside.
"Scope" units are very much like service units, however with the
difference that they are created from pre-existing processes, rather
than processes that systemd itself forks off. This means they are
generated programmatically via the bus API as transient units rather
than from static configuration read from disk. Also, they do not provide
execution-time parameters, as at the time systemd adds the processes to
the scope unit they already exist and the parameters cannot be applied
anymore.
The primary benefit of this new unit type is to create arbitrary cgroups
for worker-processes forked off an existing service.
This commit also adds a a new mode to "systemd-run" to run the specified
processes in a scope rather then a transient service.
