core/exec-invoke: switch PRIVATE_USERS_FULL to direct "0 0 UINT32_MAX" mapping

This was intended for v259. Let's get it done now, in v260.

* this is the same UID/GID map as the init user namespace and systemd's running_in_userns()
* checks whether its in a user namespace by comparing uid_map/gid_map to `0 0 UINT32_MAX`.
* Thus, we still map all UIDs/GIDs but do it using two extents to differentiate the new user
* namespace from the init namespace:
* 0 0 1
* 1 1 UINT32_MAX - 1
*
* systemd will remove the heuristic in running_in_userns() and use namespace inodes in version 258
* (PR #35382). But some users may be running a container image with older systemd < 258 so we keep
* this uid_map/gid_map hack until version 259 for version N-1 compatibility.

* TODO: Switch to `0 0 UINT32_MAX` in systemd v259.

*
* Note the kernel defines the UID range between 0 and UINT32_MAX so we map all UIDs even though
* the UID range beyond INT32_MAX (e.g. i.e. the range above the signed 32-bit range) is
* icky. For example, setfsuid() returns the old UID as signed integer. But units can decide to
* use these UIDs/GIDs so we need to map them. */
