v3.42.17: Fix systemd service templates - remove invalid --config flag

- Service templates now use WorkingDirectory for config loading
- Config is read from .dbbackup.conf in /var/lib/dbbackup
- Updated SYSTEMD.md documentation to match actual CLI
- Removed non-existent --config flag from ExecStart
