Fixes #6308: people want to be able to link a unit file via 'systemctl enable' from a git checkout or such and refer to other files in the same repo. The new specifiers make that easy. %y/%Y is used because other more obvious choices like %d/%D or %p/%P are not available because at least on of the two letters is already used. The new specifiers are only available in units. Technically it would be trivial to add then in [Install] too, but I don't see how they could be useful, so I didn't do that. I added both %y and %Y because both were requested in the issue, and because I think both could be useful, depending on the case. %Y to refer to other files in the same repo, and %y in the case where a single repo has multiple unit files, and e.g. each unit has some corresponding asset named after the unit file.
