nixos/systemd-unit-options: document correct wantedBy default for user units (#199007)
Until this commit, the documentation suggested `multi-user.target`
as `wantedBy` for all services.
Since `multi-user.target` is not available for user services,
propose a different default for those in the documentation.

If set to false, this unit will be a symlink to
/dev/null. This is primarily useful to prevent specific
template instances
(e.g. `serial-getty@ttyS0`) from being
started. Note that `enable=true` does not
make a unit start by default at boot; if you want that, see
`wantedBy`.

Defines how unit configuration is provided for systemd:
`asDropinIfExists` creates a unit file when no unit file is provided by the package
otherwise a drop-in file name `overrides.conf`.
`asDropin` creates a drop-in file named `overrides.conf`.
Mainly needed to define instances for systemd template units (e.g. `systemd-nspawn@mycontainer.service`).

description = lib.mdDoc ''
Units that want (i.e. depend on) this unit. The default method for
starting a unit by default at boot time is to set this option to
'["multi-user.target"]' for system services. Likewise for user units
(`systemd.user.<name>.*`) set it to `["default.target"]` to make a unit
start by default when the user `<name>` logs on.
This option creates a `.wants` symlink in the given target that exists
statelessly without the need for running `systemctl enable`.
The in systemd.unit(5) manpage described `[Install]` section however is
not supported because it is a stateful process that does not fit well
into the NixOS design.
