We add D-Bus properties like "*Ex" because we cannot change the D-Bus property
type without breaking backward comapatibility. But those names are only for
D-Bus, not for config file stanzas or the command-line parser. There, we can
change the type, or in other words, there is no type, just a free-form string
whose interpretation we can extend or change. Commit
831f208783 that added ProtectHostnameEx was
confused, because it added ImportCredentialEx in places where parsing of
ImportCredential should be have been extended.
On D-Bus, we send ImportCrednential in preference, and ImportCredentialEx only
when required. This way we send less bytes on the wire and support older
systems that don't understand the new property.
Partially resolves https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/37174.
