First and foremost: use ephemeral (/run, $XDG) directories
for systemd unit files, so as not to vandalize a working system.

Second, refactor common systemd-related functionality into
a new helper file, loaded by the systemd-related tests.
Shared functionality includes:

  • setting $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if unset and rootless
  • setting $UNIT_DIR for use by tests
  • new systemctl() and journalctl() functions, which
    include "--user" when rootless (why can't systemd
    figure this out on its own?)
