core: imply NNP and SUID/SGID restriction for DynamicUser=yes service
Let's be safe, rather than sorry. This way DynamicUser=yes services can neither take benefit of, nor create SUID/SGID binaries. Given that DynamicUser= is a recent addition only we should be able to get away with turning this on, even though this is strictly speaking a binary compatibility breakage.

done anymore, and instead calling `systemctl preset-all` is
recommended after the first installation of systemd.
+ * A new boolean sandboxing option RestrictSUIDSGID= has been added that
+ is built on seccomp. When turned on creation of SUID/SGID files is
+ prohibited.
+
+ * The NoNewPrivileges= and the new RestrictSUIDSGID= options are now
+ implied if DynamicUser= is turned on for a service. This hardens
+ these services, so that they neither can benefit from nor create
+ SUID/SGID executables. This is a minor compatibility breakage, given
+ that when DynamicUser= was first introduced SUID/SGID behaviour was
+ unaffected. However, the security benefit of these two options is
+ substantial, and the setting is still relatively new, hence we opted
+ to make it mandatory for services with dynamic users.
