util: continuation support for load_env_file
Variable definitions can be written on more than one line - if each ends with a backslash, then is concatenated with a previous one. Only backslash and unix end of line (\n) are treated as a continuation. Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58083 [zj: squashed two patches together; cleaned up grammar; removed comment about ignoring trailing backslash -- it is not ignored.] Document continuation support in systemd.exec
