Add a 'fallback-default-target' meson option that configures which unit to activate when default.target is not installed. This makes things more resilient in general and is also useful for minimal/statically-linked installations that may not ship a default.target symlink. 'graphical.target' is used as the default value of the setting, because that's what we symlink as default.target in units/meson.build. In the initrd, we had a fallback to start default.target if initrd.target cannot be started. This fallback is changed to only do that if it is not found, not on other errors. This seems more correct (and makes the two fallbacks symmetrical.)
