Add support for service reload and sync service file (#2102)

* Add support for service reload and sync service file

* Copy the systemd.service file to the manual linux docs and adjust the
  path to the headscale binary to match with the previous documentation
  blocks. Unfortunately, there seems to be no easy way to include a
  file in mkdocs.
* Remove a redundant "deprecation" block. The beginning of the
  documentation already states that.
* Add `ExecReload` to the systemd.service file.

Fixes: #2016

* Its called systemd

* Fix link to systemd homepage
