Hi,

this patch series make the service property StartLimitAction writeable. The
first two patches are preparation to make it posible. The third patch
actually implements this.
Why this is useful: Consider a service with rather strict watchdog
settings. StartLimitAction=reboot-force and low StartLimitBurst. If the
service for some reason crashes immediately, then the system might reboot
before a user can interfere.
With StartLimitAction writeable a 'supervisor' service can start before
this service and (based on some use-case dependent data) set
StartLimitAction to 'none'. The user can then resolve the issue.

Regards,
Michael
