job: avoid recursion into transaction code from job cancelation
I hit an "assert(j->installed)" failure in transaction_apply(). Looking into the backtrace I saw what happened: 1. The system was booting. var.mount/start was an installed job. 2. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del. 3. reboot.target was going to be isolated. 4. transaction_apply() proceeded to install a var.mount/stop job. 5. job_install() canceled the conflicting start job. 6. Depending jobs ended recursively with JOB_DEPENDENCY, among them was local-fs.target/start. 7. Its OnFailure action triggered - emergency.target was now going to be isolated. 8. We recursed back into transaction_apply() where the half-installed var.mount/stop job confused us. Recursing from job installation back into the transaction code cannot be a good idea. Avoid the problem by canceling the conflicting job non-recursively in job_install(). I don't think we'll miss anything by not recursing here. After all, we are called from transaction_apply(). We will not be installing just this one job, but all jobs from a transaction. All requirement dependencies will be included in it and will be installed separately. Every transaction job will get a chance to cancel its own conflicting installed job.
