docs: generate-systemd: pod requires an infra container
Generating unit files for a pod requires the pod to be created with an
infra container (see `--infra=true`). An infra container runs across
the entire lifespan of a pod and is hence required for systemd to manage
the life cycle of the pod's main unit.
This issue came up on the mailing list.
