Add systemd service, update source uris

Description of problem:

Although 'pppd call' is callable from command line it's a little cumbersome to handle as a long-running service e. g., a VPN connection. One solution is to add a systemd service which runs disconnected from session and with a standard set of tools.

Enclosing patch, which also updates source uris. The ppp-watch uri needs a thorough review, is this really the right way?

The service is just a wrapper to 'pppd call' so the connection must be defined in /etc/ppp/peers/.
