For some unit types we have hundreds of options, and the reader may easily miss
that more options are described in other pages. We already mentioned this in
the introduction and then at the top of the option list, but it can't hurt to
repeat the information.
Also, add an (almost empty) Options section for the unit types which don't have
any custom options. It is nicer to have the same page structure in all cases,
so people can jump between pages for different types more easily.
FixedRandomDelay=yes will use
`siphash24(sd_id128_get_machine() || MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM(m) || getuid() || u->id)`,
where || is concatenation, instead of a random number to choose a value between
0 and RandomizedDelaySec= as the timer delay.
This essentially sets up a fixed, but seemingly random, offset for each timer
iteration rather than having a random offset recalculated each time it fires.
Closes#10355

The manual states that a persistent timer triggers it's service
immediately on activation to catch up with missed invocations, but since
PR #11608 it is no longer the case if RandomizedDelaySec= is set to a
non-zero value.
For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
This reorganizes the systemd.timer man page so that it doesn't claim
there are no implicit dependencies right after specifying the implicit
dependencies, and so that it matches the other man pages for units. This
fixes a mistake introduced by commit aed5cb03db.
