When calling systemctl enable/disable/reenable --now, we'd always fail with error when operating offline. This seemly overly restricitive. In particular, if systemd is not running at all, the service is not running either, so complaining that we can't stop it is completely unnecessary. But even when operating in a chroot where systemd is not running, let's just emit a warning and return success. It's fairly common to have installation or package scripts which do such calls and not starting/restarting the service in those scenarios is the desired and expected operation. (If --now is called in combination with --global or --root=, keep returning an error.) Also make the messages nicer. I was adding some docs to tell the user to run 'systemctl enable --now', and checked how the command can fail, and the error message that the user might see in some common scenarios was too complicated. Split it up to be nicer.
