Jeremy Attali ac9ecf2785 add systemd service

Not all sway users rely on the "flaky" `exec_always` in the sway config.

For example if the app crashes (like it currently does on my machine
after a suspend / resume), then `nwg-panel` is terminated and never
comes back.

For users using [sway-service](https://github.com/xdbob/sway-services)
this would be a nice addition.

Also this is the required change in the [PKGBUILD](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=nwg-panel)
