Allows us to easier transition to self.execute with systemd-run support.
In the future we want to remove SSHConnection as these are machine core internals we want to rework. systemd-run supports spawning a logind session as `admin` which is perfect for running simple commands, but for `podman run -d` we need to allow systemd-run to run in the background. For those cases introduce a background mechanism by starting a transient unit, the downside is that getting stdout out of is impossible.

Isn't that redundant?
systemd-run will start the service asynchronously in the background and return after the command has begun execution (unless --no-block, --wait, --pipe, or --pty are specified, see below)
