core: when a unit template is specified in SYSTEMD_WANTS=, instantiate it with sysfs path

This should make cases like the user's setup in #7109 a lot easier to
handle, as in that case we'll do the right escaping automatically.

<!-- Note that we don't document here that we actually apply unit_name_mangle() to all specified names, since
that's kinda ugly, and people should instead specify correctly escaped names -->
<para>The specified property value should be a space-separated list of valid unit names. If a unit template
name is specified (that is, a unit name containing an <literal>@</literal> character indicating a unit name to
use for multiple instantiation, but with an empty instance name following the <literal>@</literal>), it will be
automatically instantiated by the device's <literal>sysfs</literal> path (that is: the path is escaped and
inserted as instance name into the template unit name). This is useful in order to instantiate a specific
template unit once for each device that appears and matches specific properties.</para></listitem>
