This adds a must_exist option to the service module, which gives callers the ability to be tolerant to services that do not exist. This allows for opportunistic manipulation of a list of services if they happen to exist on the host. While failed_when could be used, it's difficult to track all the different error strings that might come from various service tools regarding a missing service.
