Bug#825890: systemd-cron: switch from Environment to EnvironmentFile

[Paul Wise]

Package: systemd-cron
Version: 1.5.4-2
Severity: wishlist

With cron the environment variables are all placed in one place instead
of being individually defined in each cron job. With systemd-cron, each
generated service gets an individually generated Environment property
instead of inheriting the same environment variables as every other
cron job. This should be changed to use EnvironmentFile in .service so
that each cron job does not duplicate the set of environment variables.
