service: place control command in subcgroup control/

Previously, we were brutally and onconditionally killing all processes
in a service's cgroup before starting the service anew, in order to
ensure that StartPre lines cannot be misused to spawn long-running
processes.

On logind-less systems this has the effect that restarting sshd
necessarily calls all active ssh sessions, which is usually not
desirable.

With this patch control processes for a service are placed in a
sub-cgroup called "control/". When starting a service anew we simply
kill this cgroup, but not the main cgroup, in order to avoid killing any
long-running non-control processes from previous runs.
