manager: add ManagerEnvironment configuration setting
This is useful for various variables that modify process behaviour. This makes
it easy to set it for pid1 without touching the kernel command line. Even for
the *user manager* this also can be convenient for the unprivileged user, who
cannot modify user@.service definition.
Variables that could be set like this include $SD_EVENT_PROFILE_DELAYS,
$SYSTEMD_FALLBACK_HOSTNAME, $SYSTEMD_MEMPOOL, $SYSTMED_RDRAND, etc.
