Lennart Poettering d06e7fb532 oomd: increase accuracy of SwapUsedLimit= to permyriads too
oomd.conf has two parameters with fractionals: SwapUsedLimit= and
DefaultMemoryPressureLimit=, but one accepts permyriads, the other only
percentages, for no apparent reason. One carries the "Percent" in the
name, the other doesn't.

Let's clean this up: always accept permyriads, and drop the suffix,
given that it is misleading.

I figure we should internally try to focus on scaling everything
relative to UINT32_MAX, and if that isn't in the cards at least 10000,
but never permille nor percent unless there's a really really good
reason for it (e.g. interface defined by someone else).

<para>The following options are available in the [OOM] section:</para>
<variablelist class='config-directives'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SwapUsedLimit=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the limit for swap usage on the system before <command>systemd-oomd</command>
will take action. If the fraction of swap used on the system is more than what is defined here,
<command>systemd-oomd</command> will act on eligible descendant control groups, starting from the
ones with the highest swap usage to the lowest swap usage. Which control groups are monitored and
what action gets taken depends on what the unit has configured for
<varname>ManagedOOMSwap=</varname>. Takes a value specified in percent (when suffixed with "%"),
permille ("‰") or permyriad ("‱"), between 0% and 100%, inclusive. Defaults to 90%.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DefaultMemoryPressureLimit=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the limit for memory pressure on the unit's control group before
<command>systemd-oomd</command> will take action. A unit can override this value with
<varname>ManagedOOMMemoryPressureLimit=</varname>. The memory pressure for this property represents
the fraction of time in a 10 second window in which all tasks in the control group were delayed. For
each monitored control group, if the memory pressure on that control group exceeds the limit set for
longer than the duration set by <varname>DefaultMemoryPressureDurationSec=</varname>,
<command>systemd-oomd</command> will act on eligible descendant control groups, starting from the
ones with the most reclaim activity to the least reclaim activity. Which control groups are monitored
and what action gets taken depends on what the unit has configured for
<varname>ManagedOOMMemoryPressure=</varname>. Takes a fraction specified in the same way as
<varname>SwapUsedLimit=</varname> above. Defaults to 60%.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DefaultMemoryPressureDurationSec=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the amount of time a unit's control group needs to have exceeded memory pressure
limits before <command>systemd-oomd</command> will take action. Memory pressure limits are defined by
