Let's explicitly deactivate all home dirs on shutdown, in order to properly synchronizing unmounting and avoiding blocking devices. Previously, we'd rely on automatic deactivation when home directories become unused. However, that scheme is asynchronous, and ongoing deactviations might conflicts with attempts to unmount /home. Let's fix that by providing an explicit service systemd-homed-activate.service whose only job is to have a ExecStop= line that explicitly deactivates all home directories on shutdown. This service can the be ordered after home.mount and similar, ensuring that we'll first deactivate all homes before deactivating /home itself during shutdown. This is kept separate from systemd-homed.service so that it is possible to restart systemd-homed.service without deactivating all home directories. Fixes: #16842
