> tree-wide: Use "unmet" for condition checks, not "failed"
Since I noticed when running `systemctl status` on a recent
systemd still seeing
`Condition: start condition failed`
To recap the original rationale here for "unmet" is that it's
normal for some units to be conditional, so the term "failure"
here is too strong.
condition is a trigger condition, whether the condition is reversed, the right hand side of the
condition (e.g. the path in case of <varname>ConditionPathExists</varname>), and the status. The status
can be 0, in which case the condition hasn't been checked yet, a positive value, in which case the
- condition passed, or a negative value, in which case the condition failed. Currently only 0, +1, and -1
+ condition passed, or a negative value, in which case the condition is not met. Currently only 0, +1, and -1
are used, but additional values may be used in the future, retaining the meaning of
zero/positive/negative values.</para>
