Checkmk versions & editions

2.2.0b1	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk Cloud (CCE), Checkmk MSP (CME)
2.1.0b1	Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

The Checkmk agent no longer uses systemd versions prior to 220.

These systemd versions either do not support features the agent may need (e.g. setting of the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable) or they are buggy (e.g. ExecStopPost)

On theses systems, the agent will try to use xinetd.
