A fixed name is too rigid, let's give users the ability to define custom drop-in names which at the same time also allows defining multiple dropins per unit. We use ~ as the separator because: - ':' is not allowed in credential names - '=' is used to separate credential from value in mkosi's --credential argument. - '-' is commonly used in filenames - '@' already has meaning as the unit template specifier which might be confusing when adding dropins for template units
