Better "Getting started"

Cover things like:

1. Downloading binary from releases page
2. Unzip it
3. Assign permissions
4. Setup to run as a service
5. Config file/first start

@hypervtechnics Do you mean with Setup to run as a service something like a systemd service? I've not much experience in this field, so I'd be happy if someone could contribute this part to gotify/website

I'd take the guide from gitea as an example but I am not sure about The configuration aspect. And yes I mean systemd/supervisor. Also steps like: Start app once to let it generate all required filesystem aspects or just write the config and place it with executable? Does the app require a separate user?

I wrote a section on how to register as service on Debian based systems and send a pull request (which I apparently cannot reference here as it is in the "website" repository).

The service.md looks quite good! Thanks for this! :)

What also would be nice to know:

1. Does gotify migrate the database automatically?
2. Does gotify create the directory structure automatically?
3. Required permissions for database users?

Atm a web-based installer is a bit too much I guess. But for the future this would be the way better option to make the installation more fluent. At least as a possible way of doing it :)
