Creating a systemd service for Teamcity

Teamcity uses it’s own process management but it is still nice to be able to use systemd as with other services.
NOTE: The server startup script is hard wired when it comes to it’s catalina (Tomcat) PID. You must remember to create the file TeamCity/logs/catalina.pid if you get errors when trying to use the following service
