Control: retitle -1 anacron: upgrade hangs for any jobs waiting to be run (anacron 2.3-48)

Note to Lin Qigang about

You should not put the title inside (single or double) quotes, and
the command must not have word-wrapping.

This explains the issue. Hence the new title suggested by Lin Qigang
above.

Here the timer doesn't seem to be involved since anacron.timer has

OnCalendar=*-*-* 07..23:30

It seems that running anacron is forced by the new "Type=oneshot"
(→ "Anacron 2.3 started on ..."), but this is done in the foreground.
