man: rework grammatical form of sentences in a table in systemd.exec(5)

"Currently, the following values are defined: xxx: in case <condition>" is
awkward because "xxx" is always defined unconditionally. It is _used_ in case
<condition> is true. Correct this and a bunch of other places where the
sentence structure makes it unclear what is the subject of the sentence.
