Patrick Wicki 2828965a75 healthcheck_linux: avoid failing transient units
The main purpose of the transient services/timers is to trigger the
healthcheck execution in regular intervals, their own state should
not depend on the result of the healthchecks. This way there are no
failing systemd services unless there is actually a fatal error.
