man: refresh description of sysvinit compat for services

Browse source 
The existing text must have been written before systemd-sysv-generator was
created. We don't create the wrappers dynamically since a long time.

Also add more links and make the description conditional on "if compat
is enabled".

<para>If a service is requested under a certain name but no unit
configuration file is found, systemd looks for a SysV init script
by the same name (with the <filename>.service</filename> suffix
removed) and dynamically creates a service unit from that script.
This is useful for compatibility with SysV. Note that this
compatibility is quite comprehensive but not 100%. For details
about the incompatibilities, see the <ulink

<para>If SysV init compat is enabled, systemd automatically creates service units that wrap SysV init
scripts (the service name is the same as the name of the script, with a <literal>.service</literal>
suffix added); see
