Subject: [PATCH] mdmon: compensate for removal of KillMode=none

mdmon needs to keep running during the switchroot out of (at boot) and
then back into (at shutdown) the initrd.  It runs until a new mdmon
takes over.
Killmode=none used to achieve this, with the help of --offroot which
sets argv[0][0] to '@' which systemd understands.

However mdmon currently is run in system-mdmon.slice which conflicts
with shutdown.target so mdmon get killed early in shutdown when
system.mdmon.slice is removed.

As described in systemd.service(5), this conflict which shutdown can be
resolved by requesting system.slice, which is a natural counterpart to
DefaultDependencies=no.

So add that, and also add IgnoreOnIsolate=true to avoid another possible
source of an early death.
