core: coldplug all units which participate in jobs during coldplugging

This is yet another attempt to fix coldplugging order (more especially,
the problem which happens when one creates a job during coldplugging and
it references a not-yet-coldplugged unit).

Now we forcibly coldplug all units which participate in jobs. This
is a superset of previously implemented handling of the UNIT_TRIGGERS
dependencies, so that handling is removed.
