Let's make our units more robust to being added to an initrd: 1. systemd-boot-update only makes sense if sd-boot is available in /usr/ to copy into the ESP. This is generally not the case in initrds, and even if it was, we shouldn't update the ESP from the initrd, but from the host instead. 2. The rfkill services save/restore rfkill state, but that information is only available once /var/ is mounted, which generally happens after the initrd transition. 3. utmp management is partly in /var/, and legacy anyway, hence don't bother with it in the initrd.
