It's not a unit, it's done right in the daemon before starting units.
It's more or less just sethostname(/etc/hostname).

James' unit is pretty much such a sequence point, i. e. the same way
we handle it in upstart (externally with an explicit job). So in
principle we get the same race condition as under upstart, but I
suppose it's not a practical problem if you do it early enough.
