fegger 6e68300d05 build: add systemd autostart for the receiver
Ship systemd/screencast-receiver.service, a template the install
script substitutes (binary path, run user) and enables so the
receiver starts at boot after the network and avahi-daemon, with
restart-on-failure and a raised start limit for slow-booting boards.
SIGTERM gives the graceful shutdown that withdraws the mDNS
announcement — systemctl stop never triggers the stale-record trap
that kill -9 does. Headless consoles render via KMSDRM (the script
adds the run user to video/render/input); desktop autologin sessions
uncomment two documented Environment lines.

The install script gains SC_RECEIVER_SERVICE=0 to opt out.

Validated: systemd-analyze verify on the substituted unit (only the
expected missing /usr/local/bin path on this dev machine), and a live
lifecycle test as a user unit: the service-managed receiver announced
itself (--discover found it), systemctl stop produced a clean exit
(Result=success, no restart) and the mDNS announcement was withdrawn
immediately.

# screencast-receiver.service — autostart for the receiver.
#
# This file is a template: scripts/install-receiver.sh substitutes
# __SC_RECEIVER_BIN__ and __SC_RECEIVER_USER__ before installing it to
# /etc/systemd/system/screencast-receiver.service.
#
# Display environments:
#
# 1. Headless console (SDL renders via KMSDRM): works as installed. The
# configured User needs access to /dev/dri and the input devices; the
# install script adds it to the video/render/input groups.
#
# 2. Graphical session (Wayland or X11 desktop with autologin): uncomment
# the Environment lines in [Service] and adjust them to the session
# owner (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR usually lives in /run/user/1000).
