[Bug 1813400] [NEW] systemctl doesn't respect --dry-run

[Josh Holland]

Public bug reported:

[Expected behaviour]

When I use the --dry-run flag with systemctl, I would expect it not to
take any action, but instead print what it is going to do.

[Actual behaviour]

Passing --dry-run doesn't affect the behaviour of systemctl.

[Test case]

$ systemctl --dry-run reboot

Ubuntu version: 18.04.1
systemd version: 237-3ubuntu10.11

** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
