pid1: add new mode systemd.show-status=error and use it when 'quiet' is passed
systemd.show-status=error is useful for the case where people care about errors only. If people want to have a quiet boot, they most likely don't want to see all status output even if there is a delay in boot, so make "quiet" imply systemd.show-status=error instead of systemd.show-status=auto. Fixes #14976.
