Add a systemd module that generates service files from wrapper config. The module reuses NixOS systemd.services options directly, and picks up ExecStart, Environment, PATH, preStart and postStop from the wrapper automatically. A single config.systemd option produces both user and system service outputs (outputs.systemd-user, outputs.systemd-system), differing only in the install directory. Includes tests and README documentation with NixOS and home-manager examples.

If I understand this correctly, this also allows setting the NixOS option startAt to create a timer for the unit. I think it would be cool if the timer could end up in the outputs?
