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.
