[Bug 2128718] [NEW] Ensure piboot-try validate done before motd displays

Public bug reported:

The piboot-try validation (which moves new->current) may (esp. on slower
models or those using auto-login) occur after login, in which case the
motd warning may indicate the next boot will be a double when it will
not. Ensure validation service runs *before* getty.target to avoid this.
