Previously, transient units were created below the normal runtime directory /run/systemd/system. With this change they are created in a special transient directory /run/systemd/transient, which only contains data for transient units. This clarifies the life-cycle of transient units, and makes clear they are distinct from user-provided runtime units. In particular, users may now extend transient units via /run/systemd/system, without systemd interfering with the life-cycle of these files. This change also adds code so that when a transient unit exits only the drop-ins in this new directory are removed, but nothing else. Fixes: #2139
