"systemctl --failed" suggested I pass "--all" to see units in the inactive state as well. I thought this was not very useful. If you explicitly asked for units in a specific state, then you already know you have narrowed it down. And if you ran "systemctl --state=inactive", it is even more strange to see this message. @keszybz suggests we probably don't want to suggest "list-unit-files" either :-). Let's only suggest that if the user passed "--state=inactive". Finally, this means the output for "systemctl --failed" could be just "0 loaded units listed". In this case, we don't need any highlight on that text, to distinguish it from the hint. This matches "list-unit-files". This also means we happen to avoid using red highlight, when there are zero failed units, as if that itself was a failure. @kesbyz pointed out that old behaviour was a bit weird.
