This change causes the unit to load the nitro_enclaves kernel module before the service starts. Since the [email protected] unit was introduced in systemd v245 and there are releases supported by this project using older versions that don't have it, we conditionally install a drop-in file to avoid the warning about the missing unit file. We use Wants= instead of Requires= so that it's a soft dependency and will attempt to start the service even if the modprobe@ unit is missing or the modprobe fails (or if the drop-in is installed on an older release otherwise).
