Subject: systemd: Setting PATH with environment.d does not work
Package: systemd
Version: 234-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Setting the $PATH variable with systemd's environment.d feature does not work
as expected. I have this content in my
`~/.config/environment.d/99-defaults.conf`:

```
GOPATH=$HOME/Go
PATH1=$GOPATH/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
```

After a login in gnome3 I expect to see `$PATH` and `$PATH1` to be equal; with
expanded `$GOPATH` prepended.

On a shell I get this instead:

```
$ printenv PATH PATH1 GOPATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
/home/stefan/Go/bin:/home/stefan/.cargo/bin:/home/stefan/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
/home/stefan/Go
```

```
$ systemctl --user show-environment
...
GOPATH=/home/stefan/Go
PATH1=/home/stefan/Go/bin:/home/stefan/.cargo/bin:/home/stefan/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/u
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
...
```

`$PATH` seems to be hardcoded somewhere which overwrites my setting; important
fact: I use gnome on **wayland**. So I have no shellscripts that are being
exectued during login.
