contrib/systemd: Added note on common issues with systemd and asterisk

With newer version of linux /var/run/ is a symlink to /run/ that has
been turned into tmpfs.

Added note that if asterisk has to bind to a specific IP that
systemd has to wait until the network is up.

Added note on how to make sure that the environment variable
HOSTNAME is included.
