Yu Watanabe 811af8d534 core/transaction: first drop unmergable jobs for anchor jobs
As you can see, something spurious happens in the logs below.
```
initrd-switch-root.target: Trying to enqueue job initrd-switch-root.target/start/isolate
systemd-repart.service: Looking at job systemd-repart.service/stop conflicted_by=no
systemd-repart.service: Looking at job systemd-repart.service/start conflicted_by=no
systemd-repart.service: Fixing conflicting jobs systemd-repart.service/stop,systemd-repart.service/start by deleting job systemd-repart.service/stop
initrd-switch-root.target: Fixing conflicting jobs initrd-switch-root.target/stop,initrd-switch-root.target/start by deleting job initrd-switch-root.target/stop
systemd-repart.service: Deleting job systemd-repart.service/start as dependency of job initrd-switch-root.target/stop
```

The two conflicting jobs for systemd-repart.service are initially queued
as the following:
- initrd-switch-root.target has Wants=initrd-root-fs.target, and
  initrd-root-fs.target has Wants=systemd-repart.service (through symlink),
  hence starting initrd-switch-root.target tries to start
  systemd-repart.service,
- systemd-repart.service has Conflicts=initrd-switch-root.target, hence
  starting initrd-switch-root.target tries to stop
  systemd-repart.service.

As similar, interestingly(?) starting initrd-switch-root.target tries to
stop initrd-switch-root.target.

So, now there are at least two pairs of conflicting jobs:
- systemd-repart.service: start vs stop,
- initrd-switch-root.target: start vs stop.

As these jobs are induced by starting initrd-switch-root.target, of course
the most important one is the start job for initrd-switch-root.target.

Previously, as you can see in the logs at the beginning, even if
the start job for initrd-switch-root.target is important, we may first
try to resolve the conflict in systemd-repart.service, and may drop the
stop job for systemd-repart.service even if it is relevant to the start
job of initrd-switch-root.target.

This makes first we solve the pair of conflicting jobs for anchor task.
So the stop job for initrd-switch-root.target is dropped first, and the
induced start job for systemd-repart.service is automatically removed,
thus it is not necessary to solve the conflict in systemd-repart.service
anymore.

This is especially important for services that are enabled both in initrd
and after switching root. If a stop job for one of the service is
unexpectedly dropped during switching root, then the service is not stopped
before switching root, and will never start after that.

Fixes #38765.
