fix(ops/irccat): Avoid permissions issue with LoadCredentials= r/3191

The DynamicUser + Group configuration does not work as planned, thus
the systemd LoadCredentials feature is used instead which makes the
file (which itself is only readable by root) available in a
memory-backed location only readable by the service.

The secret is only available to `ExecStart` commands, so units using
this feature can not be used with pre/post units and the like if those
commands need secrets.

To accommodate this, the merge of configuration files has been moved
into the service launch script, which is now the ExecStart= process.

For details take a look at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#LoadCredential=ID:PATH
