Subject: [PATCH] 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.

(cherry picked from commit bf65b7e0c9fc215897b676ab9a7c9d1c688143ba)
Resolves: #1687512
