Title:
  [merge request] Please sync 'cron' from Debian main

Status in cron package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  xenial still have an outdated version; please sync it from:
  http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/c/cron/cron_3.0pl1-128_changelog

  cron (3.0pl1-128) unstable; urgency=medium

    * d/cron.service: Use KillMode=process to kill only the daemon.
      The default of KillMode=control-group kills all the processes in the control group, for example when restarting the daemon. This is a deviation from past behavior we do not want. Thanks, Alexandre Detiste! Closes: #783683
