I've added a reduced set of security settings, for users who need the fuse-mount-feature. |

I've added a separate hardened service file. So the maintainer can choose between hardening and the fuse mount functionality. |

This is implied by PrivateDevices, right?

PrivateDevices will set DevicePolicy=closed, the reasoning for setting it explicitly is some older systemd-versions might support just the simpler DevicePolicy=closed but doesn't yet support PrivateDevices.
In this case PrivateDevices would be ignored and DevicePolicy=closed not set.

Given all these restrictions, will IPFS be able to set it's own file descriptor limits? If not, we should probably set this.

Thanks! |
Motivation
IPFS is a network-facing service, which just needs very limited access to the system itself outside of it's state-directory.
Systemd allows to do a lot of hardening to separate a network process from the system and reduce the attack surface.
This PR aims to enable all possible options for the latest systemd-version.
