tmpfiles: introduce an explicit line flag $ for enabling purge logic for a line
Let's make the risk of accidental misuse, and mark lines that shall be covered by --purge with an explicit new flag "$". See: #33349

CHANGES WITH 257 in spe:
+ Incompatible changes:
+
+ * The --purge switch of systemd-tmpfiles (which was added in v256) has
+ been reworked: it will now only apply to tmpfiles.d/ lines marked
+ with the new "$" flag. This is an incompatible change, and means any
+ tmpfiles.d/ files which shall be used together with --purge need to
+ be updated accordingly. This change has been made to make it harder
+ to accidentally delete too many files when using --purge incorrectly.
