core: hide /run/credentials whenever namespacing is requested

Ideally we would like to hide all other service's credentials for all
services. That would imply for us to enable mount namespacing for all
services, which is something we cannot do, both due to compatibility
with the status quo ante, and because a number of services legitimately
should be able to install mounts in the host hierarchy.

Hence we do the second best thing, we hide the credentials automatically
for all services that opt into mount namespacing otherwise. This is
quite different from other mount sandboxing options: usually you have to
explicitly opt into each. However, given that the credentials logic is a
brand new concept we invented right here and now, and particularly
security sensitive it's OK to reverse this, and by default hide
credentials whenever we can (i.e. whenever mount namespacing is
otherwise opt-ed in to).

Long story short: if you want to hide other service's credentials, the
most basic options is to just turn on PrivateMounts= and there you go,
they should all be gone.
