systemctl: filter shown units by their load state
E.g. systemctl --all -t masked gives the list of masked units. The -t/--type option is reused. This is possible because unit types and unit load states are called differently, so it is possible to distinguish what the user meant. Using the same option also means that the interface is user for the user: less options to remember.
