shared/install: properly report masked units listed in Also=

A masked unit is listed in Also=:

$ systemctl cat test1 test2
→# /etc/systemd/system/test1.service
[Unit]
Description=test service 1

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Also=test2.service
Alias=alias1.service

→# /dev/null

$ systemctl --root=/ enable test1
(before)
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/alias1.service → /etc/systemd/system/test1.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/test1.service → /etc/systemd/system/test1.service.
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
   instance name specified.

(after)
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/alias1.service → /etc/systemd/system/test1.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/test1.service → /etc/systemd/system/test1.service.
Unit /etc/systemd/system/test2.service is masked, ignoring.
