[systemd-devel] [PATCHv2 1/4] systemctl: cat, edit: improve unit load error reporting

[Ivan Shapovalov]

- report actual load error for units which could not be loaded
- make unit_find_paths() report all kinds of errors it encounters
  (for consistency)
- consistently handle not-found errors in cat() and edit()
