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.
