core/unit: do not load drop-in configs for masked unit files

Otherwise, ExecXYZ= given by drop-ins may be added to a masked unit,
then commands may be unexpectedly executed. For example, if an ExecStop=
is set in a drop-in for a running unit, then 'systemctl mask --now' for
the unit try to invoke the command specified in ExecStop=.

Fixes #38802.
