In Fedora 31, `systemd-journal-flush.service` uses a new
`--smart-relinquish-var` switch which fixes the
`umount: /var: target is busy` bug by telling journald to stop logging
to `/var` and back to `/run` again during shutdown.
This interacted with `ostree-finalize-staged.service` in a tricky way:
since we weren't strongly ordered against it, when we happened to
finalize after `/var` is relinquished, we never persisted the output
from that service to disk. This then threw off `rpm-ostree status` when
trying to find the completion message to know that finalization went
well.
Just fix this by adding an explicit `After=` on that unit. That way we
shut down *before* `systemd-journal-flush.service` (the `/var`
relinquish bit happens in its `ExecStop=`).

Really, all `ostree admin finalize-staged` needs is access to `/sysroot`
and `/boot`. So let's activate it right after `local-fs.target` so that
it gets deactivated later in the shutdown process. This should allow us
to conflict with less services still running and possibly writing things
to `/etc`.

Basically for people on e.g. rotational media, the default 90
second timeout can be too small.
We're in a tough situation here, because delaying shutdown
can be problematic too if the user is trying to shut down their
laptop to put in a backpack, etc.
There's potential optimizations here to make; I think we
could pre-copy the kernel/initramfs for example.
I suspect for some people the grub2 os-prober is a factor here too,
if that tries to e.g. inspect attached USB rotational hard drives.
But hopefully we'll get rid of that soon.

It's a neat way to point folks to the documentation (of course, better
would be to have man pages for each of those services). Also
consistently use Title Case everywhere.

Add API to write a deployment state to `/run/ostree/staged-deployment`,
along with a systemd service which runs at shutdown time.
This is a big change to the ostree model for hosts,
but it closes a longstanding set of bugs; many, many people have
hit the "losing changes in /etc" problem. It also avoids
the other problem of racing with programs that modify `/etc`
such as LVM backups:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365297
We need this in particular to go to a full-on model for
automatically updated host systems where (like a dual-partition model)
everything is fully prepared and the reboot can be taken
asynchronously.
