packaging: add systemctl command to dependencies

scylladb/scylla container image doesn't include systemctl binary, while it
is used by perftune.py script shipped within the same image.

Scylla Operator runs this script to tune Scylla nodes/containers,
expecting its all dependencies to be available in the container's PATH.
Without systemctl, the script fails on systems that run irqbalance
(e.g., on EKS nodes) as the script tries to reconfigure irqbalance and
restart it via systemctl afterwards.

Fixes: scylladb/scylla-operator#3080

Closes scylladb/scylladb#28567

(cherry picked from commit b4f0eb666f)

Closes scylladb/scylladb#28845

(cherry picked from commit 4cc5c2605f)

Closes scylladb/scylladb#28890
