units: rework systemd-random-seed-{load,save}.service to be a single service
That way ordering it with MountsRequiredFor= works properly, as this no longer results in mount units start requests to be added to the shutdown transaction that conflict with stop requests for the same unit.

+ <para><filename>systemd-random-seed.service</filename>
+ is a service that restores the random seed of the
+ system at early-boot and saves it at shutdown. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>random</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. Saving/restoring the random seed across
+ boots increases the amount of available entropy early
+ at boot. On disk the random seed is stored in
+ <filename>/var/lib/random-seed</filename>.</para>
