Resume frozen unit processes

SYNOPSIS
systemctl thaw PATTERN...
DESCRIPTION
systemctl thaw resumes one or more units that were previously frozen with `systemctl freeze`. Frozen units have all their processes suspended via the kernel freezer cgroup controller.
Thawing allows the unit's processes to continue execution from where they were paused.
CAVEATS
Only affects units that were frozen. Thawing a non-frozen unit has no effect. Requires the cgroup freezer controller to be available.
HISTORY
The thaw subcommand complements the freeze functionality, enabling controlled process suspension and resumption for debugging or resource management.
