This adds support for searching for credentials more comprehensively. Specifically, unless an absolute source path is specified we'll now search for the credentials in the system credentials first, and then in /etc/credstore/, /run/credstore/, and /usr/lib/credstore, making these dirs hence the recommended place for credentials to leave in the system. For LoadCredentialEncrypted= we'll also look into /etc/credstore.encrypted/, /run/credstore.encrypted/, …. These dirs are hence suitable for credentials whose provenience isn't trusted (e.g. UEFI creds from systemd-stub), and thus require to be authenticated before use.
