  units with credentials fail in LXD containers

Status in lxd:

Status in lxd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Many units shipped by systemd use credentials in some way by default
  now (in v256). So this issue is now about much more than the original
  test case failure.

  For example,

  [Original Description]

  To demonstrate this, in an unprivileged LXD container, create the
  following unit (taken from the systemd test suite):

  $ cat > /etc/systemd/system/exec-set-credential.service << EOF
  # SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1-or-later
  [Unit]
  Description=Test for SetCredential=

  [Service]

  ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -x -c 'test "$$(cat %d/test-execute.set-credential)" = "hoge"'
  ExecStop=/bin/sh -x -c 'test "$$(cat %d/test-execute.set-credential)" = "hoge"'
  ExecStopPost=/bin/sh -x -c 'test "$$(cat %d/test-execute.set-credential)" = "hoge"'
  Type=oneshot
  SetCredential=test-execute.set-credential:hoge
  EOF
  $ systemctl daemon-reload
  $ systemctl start exec-set-credential.service
  Job for exec-set-credential.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
  See "systemctl status exec-set-credential.service" and "journalctl -xeu exec-set-credential.service" for details.
