Prepare the Integration with systemd
This is an intermediate commit providing
basic functionnalities for setting up
integration of the framework with systemd.
- file afm-unit.conf is a mustache template
- translation of config.xml to json object
- mustache (extended) application of the json to the template
- post processing of the result for extracting unit files
This processing is currently available as a test
(and a tool) and will be integrated after more
developement, test and validation.
