systemctl: drop hardcoded chkconfig invocation
Introduce /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install [--root=] <action> <name> abstraction, replacing the direct calling of chkconfig. This allows distributions to call their specific tools like update-rc.d without patching systemd. Ship systemd-sysv-install.SKELETON as an example for packagers how to implement this. Drop the --enable-chkconfig configure option. Document this in README and point to it in NEWS.

+SYSV INIT.D SCRIPTS:
+ When calling "systemctl enable/disable/is-enabled" on a unit which is a
+ SysV init.d script, it calls /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install;
+ this needs to translate the action into the distribution specific
+ mechanism such as chkconfig or update-rc.d. Packagers need to provide
+ this script if you need this functionality (you don't if you disabled
+ SysV init support).
+
+ Please see src/systemctl/systemd-sysv-install.SKELETON for how this
+ needs to look like, and provide an implementation at the marked places.
