configure: determine the systemd unit directory from pkg-config

Lubomir Rintel requested to merge lr/ac-systemd-unit-path into main

Ask systemd instead of hardcoding the path. While this is a bit nicer, it should have precisely zero effect as the discovered path should be the same as we were hard-coding.

We default to placing the unit file under the same $prefix as the user is installing into. This seems to be the correct thing to do if the user is installing to /usr/local (according to systemd-path(1), /usr/local/lib/systemd/system is all right), but can install the unit file into wrong path if the user chooses to install into some obscure location. I guess it's their responsibility in the end.
