5c3ed1736e refactor(role): systemctl daemon-reload after copy
Since unit files are now copied to '/etc/systemd/system' we should
make sure that systemd sees the newest version of all unit files
before we attempt to enable a timer unit.

023227fff7 refactor(role): No systemctl daemon-reload on Git pull
Since unit files are now copied to '/etc/systemd/system' merely
cloning or pulling a Git repo no longer warrants a systemctl
daemon-reload.

03b371650c refactor(role): Copy unit files instead of symlinking them
On each target machine we're storing the Git repo that has our unit
files underneath '/opt/git'. Prior to this commit we used to place
symlinks from '/etc/systemd/system' into the appropriate '/opt/git'
subdir. On most machines this worked fine, however, on some we
encountered a race condition on system start.

Sometimes '/opt/git' is not the same file system as '/'. If that's
the case chances are that systemd initializes the system and fails to
access a unit file at '/opt/git' because that file system is just
barely not yet visible early in the boot process.

For a timer unit for example this could result in enabling the unit
and upon reboot seeing that the unit no longer existed in systemd's
world view e.g. via 'systemctl list-timers' even though the symlink
at '/etc/systemd/system' still pointed to an '/opt/git' subdir when
inspected manually seconds after boot. journalctl, however, would
clearly confirm that at system initialization the symlink target was
inaccessible.

We could fiddle around with delaying boot until '/opt/git' and its
descendants are visible but the sane solution is to just not rely on
a separate file system for important stuff such as unit files. We now
copy unit files to '/etc/systemd/system' instead of symlinking them.
