This commit introduces a complete systemd user service setup for remote-touchpad, eliminating the need for users to manually manage the binary process. Key additions: - New rts CLI wrapper script providing a user-friendly interface for service management without requiring root access - Systemd service file for proper background operation with restart policies and dependency management - Service management commands: install, start, stop, status, restart, and uninstall - URL extraction and QR code generation via the url command - Service log viewing via the log command The installation process now: 1. Verifies Go is installed 2. Builds the remote-touchpad binary with appropriate tags 3. Installs service files to ~/.config/systemd/user/ 4. Installs the binary to ~/.local/bin/ 5. Enables and starts the service automatically The README has been updated with comprehensive installation instructions for the new user service approach.
