+Adds systemd-related notifiable handlers
+
+- Reload systemd daemon
+  - Reloads all systemd unit files
+- Apply systemd unit restarts
+  - Restarts multiple systemd units in a single transaction
+  - Units to be restarted are defined in the `systemd_restart_units` variable of type list
+  - The variable should be set using `ansible.builtin.set_fact`
+  - The list must not be overridden, but appended (`systemd_restart_units: "{{ systemd_restart_units + ['restartme.service'] }}"`
