Can the script behind ExecCondition pass variables to the script
behind ExecStart or, even better, the unit itself so we can then
use $HRNGDEVICE and $RNGDOPTIONS there?

If not, I’d lean towards one (which?) of the errorlevel-using ones,
because otherwise we’d have to run the detection code twice.
