start sshd by default to allow installation on headless systems

Currently it is not possible to install to a headless system without having access to it and attaching at least a keyboard. See Install Arch Linux via SSH - ArchWiki.

A headless installation requires:

  • root user with a default password.
  • PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
  • enabled sshd.service.
