Why is 'find' required at all?  afaik, only files from $SRC_URI are
affected.  So we can

1. create an (overridable) SYSTEMD_EXTRA_SERVICES variable

2. fill this variable in systemd.bbclass with .service, .target, .socket
   + .mount files from $SRC_URI

3. modify systemd's do_install so that files above are copied after
   doing some some sanity checks (e.g. checks that no previous version
   from 'make install' exists or that it are really systemd files).
