This moves the StartLimitBurst=, StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitAction=, RebootArgument= from the [Service] section into the [Unit] section of unit files, and thus support it in all unit types, not just in services. This way we can enforce the start limit much earlier, in particular before testing the unit conditions, so that repeated start-up failure due to failed conditions is also considered for the start limit logic. For compatibility the four options may also be configured in the [Service] section still, but we only document them in their new section [Unit]. This also renamed the socket unit failure code "service-failed-permanent" into "service-start-limit-hit" to express more clearly what it is about, after all it's only triggered through the start limit being hit. Finally, the code in busname_trigger_notify() and socket_trigger_notify() is altered to become more alike. Fixes: #2467
