We parse the directive from the unit file text and skip restarting the service if X-RestartIfChanged=false is set required for #436

Overall 👍
But I feel like the parser needs to do a little bit more than string matching.

[Service]
#X-RestartIfChanged=false😛
Looking at man systemd.syntax, we can also have whitespaces around the equal sign:
Each file is a plain text file divided into sections, with configuration entries in the style key=value. Whitespace immediately before or after the "=" is ignored. Empty lines and lines starting with "#" or ";" are ignored, which may be used commenting.
Maybe check if there's a parser for that.

Prevents the engine from restarting services like the auto-upgrade service mid-execution when their unit files change.
