On an active high availability xCAT management node, xcatd did not start automatically after reboot

[neo954]

This bug is against xcatha.py commit 7620439004af8683a6b69bfcfc6125e95310e78d.

After activate one of the high availability xCAT management node, it seems xcatha.py does not enable xcatd service via systemctl. Thus, after an operating system reboot, the xcatd daemon does not start up automatically.

HI @neo954，“after an operating system reboot, the xcatd daemon does not start up automatically.”， after an operating system reboot, the xcatd daemon can not start up automatically, need to run "--activate" process to start all services including xcatd, it is designed.

[neo954]

I suggest, document this issue in xCAT document.
