Benedikt Rips f1d5aa6f69 sshAuthSock: set in systemd
`SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is exported in shells only, which systemd does not
inherit from. With this commit, it is also set in systemd such that
systemd-managed applications can access the SSH agent by declaring
dependencies onto 'sshAuthSock.systemd.socketProviderUnit'.

Closes #7971.
