[PATCH v2 3/6] maintenance: simplify systemctl calls

From
Max Gautier <mg@max.gautier.name>
Date
Mar 22, 2024, 22:11 UTC
Message-ID
<20240322221327.12204-4-mg@max.gautier.name>
In-Reply-To
<20240322221327.12204-1-mg@max.gautier.name>
The systemctl invocation to enable or disable the git maintenance timers
is needlessly complicated:
- systemctl does not mind at all enabling already enabled units, nor
  disabling already disabled units.
- it can act on several units at once instead of only one.

Use only one systemctl invocation per `git maintenance start/stop`. Transparently pass its status and output. Add the --force option to override conflicting symlinks to previous instances of our units files which lived in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
