Following this change the syncthing man page is displayed
This systemd service restarts Syncthing after resume from suspend
via sending SIGHUP. By default Syncthing detects resume from sleep
on its own by looking for jumps in the system clock. Since systemd
knows exactly when the system resumes from sleep let's trigger
the Syncthing restart from there. Doing this in systemd eliminates
some annoying delay, as the service is restarted immediately after
resume. Also, using the systemd dependency mechanism syncthing-inotify
is restarted as well.

This system service has to be located in "/etc/systemd/system/syncthing-resume.service",
and for packages in "/usr/lib/systemd/system/syncthing-resume.service". It can be
enabled using "systemctl enable syncthing-resume.service".
PR #2578 enables us to remove the exit code 2 from the list of
success status codes, because SIGINT will be handled properly.
I have also converted STNORESTART to --no-restart for the sake
of consistency.
The systemd exit code definitions (introduced in c586a17, refs #1324) caused
problems. Per default systemd considers a return code != 0 as failed. So when
you click on "Restart" in the WebUI an error appears:
systemd[953]: syncthing.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=3/NOTIMPLEMENTED
systemd[953]: Unit syncthing.service entered failed state.
systemd[953]: syncthing.service failed.
systemd[953]: syncthing.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.

To fix this error we have to add the "succes codes" 2, 3, 4 to
"SuccessExitStatus":
syncthing[13006]: [LFKUK] INFO: Restarting
syncthing[13006]: [LFKUK] OK: Exiting
systemd[953]: syncthing.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.

To make sure that syncthing restarts in case of error, and to make sure
that "Restart=on-failure" actually works, let's remove
"RestartPreventExitStatus=1". Systemd considers this as an error per
default and the restart will be triggered successfully.
Syncthing should not try to start a browser when invoked by systemd.
Furthermore we do not need any timestamps in the journal as systemd
already handles this for us.
- Removed environment file to keep the service file minimal.
"systemctl edit syncthing.service" does the job if somebody wants
to customize the service.
- Changed "cmdline.target" to "default.target" as "cmdline.target"
does not exist in systemd.special:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.special.html
- Added a missing "After=network.target".
- Added a documentation hint, thx @jaystrictor
