man/systemd.exec: Make EnvironmentFile error conditions more explicit

It is not entirely clear what happens when EnvironmentFile fails in the
prior wording. With the new wording it should now be clear that if it
fails to process the file the service will fail, and if it is prefixed
with "-" all errors are silently ignored.
