Bug #13740

Service having both an init script and a real systemd unit are managed through the init script
Description
When a service hav an init script in /etc/init.d and a real systemd unit (not a compatibility one), the init script is used by Rudder to manage it. We should use systemd instead.
We could probably test the presence of an actual native systemd unit, and force systemd usage in this case.

This will become a bigger problem as init scripts are nowadays less actively maintained (compared to systemd units).
We need to a find a solution that allows smooth upgrades.
Setting to major as there are no real workaround (except using commands).
Setting to Operational as it happens for most debian services.

The tricky thing is that we had to add the priority to init script for services having autogenerated systemd unit IIRC. We should detect the presence of an actual unit and use systemd in this case.
We also need to take care of debian systems not using systemd, and have proper detection of who is pid 0 before chosing a service method.

For reference, the core issue was for services using the init compatibility layer, for which is-enabled does not work on debian systems, which breaks boot status management.
The proposed fix is to continue using init script/rc.d for init scripts, unless the is also a unit file, in which case systemd will be used, fixing this bug while not making the root problem reappear.
