Whether or not we are in initrd is what we want to check. The existence
of /etc/initrd-release is an implementation detail. Having the same file
check as a condition in units duplicates the code that has been
implemented in the in_initrd() function.

In addition, someone who writes unit files should not be forced to know
these implementation details, but should have the proper condition
documented for the purpose.

That is all there is.
