package/systemd: add checklist of upgrade caveats

Browse Source 
Bumping the version of systemd is a little more complicated than the
usual package, and it's easy to forget some of the things that need to
be done - and this has happened several times in the past.

Add a checklist of things to worry about when updating systemd.

Note that there are many other complicated packages that also need a lot
of attention when upgrading. However, systemd is a really critical
package so it's more important that we get that one right than, say,
valgrind.

################################################################################
# When updating systemd, take care of the following:
# - Check if the requirements have changed (see README), in particular
# arch and headers
# - If yes, propagate the dependencies to BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD
# - If the required kernel options have changed, update the Config.in
# help text and the list of KCONFIG_ENABLE_OPT.
# - Check if there are new meson_options. Make sure all options are set
# explicitly (usually to default value).
# - If there are new services:
# - create new options for them (if they really are optional);
# - create a new _USER if necessary;
# - create new directory (with _PERMISSIONS) if necessary.
# - Diff sysusers.d with the previous version
# - Diff factory/etc/nsswitch.conf with the previous version
# (details are often sprinkled around in README and manpages)
