Subject: [PATCH] Change job mode of manager triggered restarts to JOB_REPLACE

So, here's what happens in the described scenario in #11305. A unit goes
4bff0a
down, and that triggeres stop jobs for the other two units as they were
4bff0a
bound to it. Now, the timer for manager triggered restarts kicks in and
4bff0a
schedules a restart job with the JOB_FAIL job mode. This means there is
4bff0a
a stop job installed on those units, and now due to them being bound to
4bff0a
us they also get a restart job enqueued. This however is a conflicts, as
4bff0a
neither stop can merge into restart, nor restart into stop. However,
4bff0a
restart should be able to replace stop in any case. If the stop
4bff0a
procedure is ongoing, it can cancel the stop job, install itself, and
4bff0a
then after reaching dead finish and convert itself to a start job.
4bff0a
However, if we increase the timer, then it can always take those units
4bff0a
from inactive -> auto-restart.
4bff0a
4bff0a
We change the job mode to JOB_REPLACE so the restart job cancels the
4bff0a
stop job and installs itself.
4bff0a
4bff0a
Also, the original bug could be worked around by bumping RestartSec= to
4bff0a
avoid the conflicting.
4bff0a
4bff0a
This doesn't seem to be something that is going to break uses. That is
4bff0a
because for those who already had it working, there must have never been
4bff0a
conflicting jobs, as that would result in a desctructive transaction by
4bff0a
virtue of the job mode used.
4bff0a
4bff0a
After this change, the test case is able to work nicely without issues.
