Merge #10529: Improve bitcoind systemd service file
16be7dd Improve bitcoind systemd service file (Florian Schmaus) Pull request description: Add comment how further options can be added or existing ones modified. Use /run/${RuntimeDirectory} for PID file. Remove TimeoutStopSec, TimeoutStartSec, StartLimitInterval, StartLimitBurst directives as those should be set indivdually. Remove Group to user the bitcoin user's default group. Changed Restart from 'always' to 'on-failure' (can also be overwritten individually).
