When the systemd-sysupdate.service runs it fails if there is no config. Since we don't use it, it's expected to do nothing but this failure is making problems when the service is started from the timer unit which is now enabled by default. This service is also used by the sysext-bakery update configs for drop-in steps that update sysupdate components. There we let users add a noop config to prevent this service failure. Since we run into this in Flatcar now and we anyway had users add this manually, let's just add it directly to Flatcar. Signed-off-by: Kai Lueke <kailuke@microsoft.com>
