Add a note to the service-file naming scheme that reminds developers that those names might be aliases. Hence, when parsing such unit names, the entire name-array of a unit must be parsed, rather than just the unit ID. The service-name of existing applications might be already part of their API. Hence, not all applications can switch the service ID to this new naming scheme, but can provide suitable aliases. Document this behavior.
