[systemd-devel] [PATCH] man: Document the actual behaviour of ExecStopPost

The documentation makes it sound like ExecStopPost is only run when
stopping the service with `systemctl stop foo.service`

However, that is not the case, as it also gets run when the service
unexpectedly exists, crashes, or gets SIGKILLed.
