feature request: notify systemd

[danielsdeleo]

Hi,

I'm on a team at Chef that's responsible for configuring systems to run some habitat services on "bare metal," so we're configuring the system to run the hab supervisor via systemd. I recently encountered a problem where I'd installed hab to /usr/local/bin but set the path to hab as /bin/hab in my systemd unit file. For "systemd reasons" this resulted in systemctl start returning zero even though I was in a crash loop of attempting to start habitat with the wrong path.

I fixed the issue with my own code, but it would be nice if the hab supervisor could play nice with systemd by implementing the sd_notify call. Then I could set the unit type to "notify" which would make systemd behave as expected when the supervisor doesn't start (cf. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html)
