core: disable mounting disconnected private tmpfs on /var/tmp/ when DefaultDependencies=no

If DefaultDependencies=no, /var/ may not be mounted yet when the service
is being started. Previously, In such case, if the service has
PrivateTmp=disconnected, the service manager created /var/tmp/ on the
root filesystem and mounted the disconnected private tmpfs there. That
poluted the root filesystem and disturbed gpt-auto-generator on next
boot, as /var/ would not be empty anymore. See issue #37258.

This changes PrivateTmp=disconnected as the following:
- If DefaultDependencies=no and RootDirectory=/RootImage= are not set,
  then a private tmpfs is mounted _only_ on /tmp/, and set $TMPDIR=/tmp
  environment variable to suggest the service to use /tmp/.
- If DefaultDependencies=yes and RootDirectory=/RootImage= are not set,
  then implies RequiresMountsFor=/var/, though that is typically
  redundant, but anyway. Hence, we can safely mount /var/tmp/.
- Otherwise, i.e. when one of RootDirectory=/RootImage= is set, behaves
  as the same as the previous, as the private root filesystem for the
  service is explicitly prepared by the service manager, and we can
  safely mount a private tmpfs on /var/tmp/ without any extra
  dependencies.

Fixes #37258.
