[arch-general] Forking daemons and systemd

I used
type=forking
in my espeakup unit. From what I'm reading, it looks like that was 
actually unnecessary, since
a. espeakup is not a dependency of any other service, as it only 
provides speech feedback for blind users at boot time, and
b. the daemon supports a pidfile, which I included in the service unit.
I can test this on my local unit file, or I can pull the edited version 
from testing to be sure it works correctly in most if not all cases.
