shared/install: ignore Alias in [Install] of units which don't allow aliases
A downside is that a warning about missing [Install] is printed: $ systemctl --root=/ enable mnt-test.mount [/etc/systemd/system/mnt-test.mount:5] Aliases are not allowed for mount units, ignoring. The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). 4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. That's a bit misleading, but I don't see an easy way to fix this. But the situation is similar for many other parsing errors, so maybe that's OK.
