Add Linux systemd support to AIX

The Linux distributions moved away from using inittab. All new linux distributions and applications are using systemd now.

    systemd-Files as a backend for SRC would be great.

    I disagree completely. Systemd is much more that just init, and it's oriented toward desktop Linux.

    This is what the System Resource Controller is for, no? Now, the SRC could have a cleaner and better documented interface, but overall it is perhaps a much better tool than systemd will ever be and has a lot less quirks.

    Pros are: clean environment for services, similar/identical configuration between Linux distributions (and possibly AIX).

    Cons: "real" systemd needs lots of kernel support.

    Having a compat layer to use simple systemd units might be a good start.
