docs: add example systemd service file
This is an example systemd service file for lnd designed to run
alongside a bitcoind service. This file is loosely based on
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/init/bitcoind.service,
https://gist.github.com/Stadicus/f0c6db4fa6cf787f19d9d3444b91633f,
and my own experience managing lnd with systemd.

Init

Sample configuration files for:

systemd: lnd.service

systemd

Add the example lnd.service file to /etc/systemd/system/ and modify it according to your system and user configuration. Use the following commands to interact with the service:

# Enable lnd to automatically start on system boot
systemctl enable lnd

# Start lnd
systemctl start lnd

# Restart lnd
systemctl restart lnd

# Stop lnd
systemctl stop lnd

Systemd will attempt to restart lnd automatically if it crashes or otherwise stops unexpectedly.
