Previously, we were preparing the root very late in the boot process;
right before we switch root. The issue with that is that most services
in the initrd that run `After=initrd-root-fs.target` expect that
`/sysroot` already points to the rootfs we'll be pivoting to. Running
this late violates that assumption.
This patch fixes this by making `ostree-prepare-root.service` instead
run right after `sysroot.mount` (the physical sysroot mounted by
systemd) but still before `initrd-root-fs.target` (which is the target
signalling that `/sysroot` is now valid and ready).
This should make it easier to integrate OSTree with other initrd
services such as Ignition.

For the same reasons as #1697. This is especially important in services
that are likely to be used as an `After/Before=` target in other units.
`ostree-prepare-root.service` is one such service.

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.

Follow systemd units in using emergency.target, not emergency.service
(which is the sole unit, by default, in emergency.target) so we can
easily reconfigure the units which are actived when entering
emergency mode.

Why not to use libexecdir?
Because this directory does not exist on some distros or paths
between distros varies. There are several reasons why a well
known path is prefered, for example when generating a kernel
command line:
init=${ostree}/usr/lib/ostree-boot/ostree-prepare-root
In addition this saves us some typing in a console when wanting
to access the "ostree" cmd line.
