📄 Description

Adds a systemd service for better integration on such systems. This allows restarting ironbar independently of the Wayland compositor.

For example, on my system:

systemctl --user add-wants niri.service ironbar.service

This starts ironbar with niri but also allows me to independently restart or stop it with:

systemctl --user restart ironbar.service

Packagers can easily add support with:

install -Dm644 ironbar.service ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/lib/systemd/user/ironbar.service

Code has been adapted from piri and what I currently do on my system:
