Subject: [PATCH] man: fix invalid description of template handling in
WantedBy=
We don't need to talk about Alias=. The approach of using Alias= to enable
units is still supported, but hasn't been advertised as the way to do thing
for many years. Using it as an explanation is just confusing.
Also, the description of templated units did not take DefaultInstance=
into account. It is updated and extended.
(cherry picked from commit 17a2679e9925c9ec3c5764d01def92c5627973e4)
