bug#31498: [PATCH] Notify systemd in daemon-initialized

[Lucas Werkmeister]

With --[bg-]daemon and Type=forking, systemd will only consider the
daemon to have fully started up once the original process exits, and
will wait until then to start units depending on the Emacs service. To
get the same functionality with --fg-daemon, use Type=notify instead of
Type=simple and explicitly send a readiness notification to systemd at
the point where the forked process would in --bg-daemon mode notify its
parent process and cause it to exit.
* etc/emacs.service: update Type
* src/emacs.c (daemon-initialized): call sd_notify()
