systemctl: make "systemctl is-system-running" return "offline" if we are not booted with systemd
This sounds like the better place to expose this than in "systemd-notify --booted". Also document the so far undocumented "unknown" state the command might return. And rearrange the table of states documented to be more like the one for "is-running". Also, don't document the precise exit code of this function, just say errors are reported != 0 or > 0...
