MMDVMHost Systemd setup

Preface

Since moving to Systemd many admins are struggling with the differences, in an effort to take the work
out of installing MMDVMHost on your linux host, I have written a service handler and the related systemd
unit files.

I hope these help you get going quickly. Written on / tested on / confirmed working on Raspbian Jessie-lite but should work just fine on any
system using systemd.

Enjoy, 73 de MW0MWZ
