[systemd-devel] mounting the root file system using systemd unit file

[fb.dev.gen]

@Mikhail: thank you for your answer.

@killermoehre: my special reason to not use `/etc/fstab` is that I'm
testing Clear Linux <https://clearlinux.org/> which do not provides any
`/etc/fstab` configuration file and uses extensively all systemd
versatility.

@all: any other suggestion about -.mount unit file regarding sections
and options?
