systemd: Fix systemd when used with busybox less

Per default systemd use a pager for the output of most of its tools
and it expect this pager to be color capable. But that is not the case
when the busybox `less` is used, which lead to output garbled by color
escape sequences.

To fix this issue add a profile frament that disable the systemd pager
when busybox `less` is detected.
