1. Run service as particular user for systemd and launchd …

   It's important to be able to specify which user the service runs as, particularly in a Linux-based
   environment. Therefore, the `ServiceInstallCtx` is extended with an optional `username` field.
   
   It's also possible to run services on Windows with a non-Administrator user account. I tried hard to
   get this to work. I could get the service created with another account, but it would not start. I
   ended up just submitting my PR with support for macOS and Linux.
   
   New system tests were provided, with the base test being extended to check if the service process is
   running as the user specified in the `ServiceInstallCtx` definition. It just does this by checking
   the service definition. I tried to check the running service process to see if it was running as the
   correct user, but this proved to be difficult to do in a cross platform way.
   
   Running with a different user only applies to system-wide services.
   
   I made a small change to the way the plist file was constructed for launchd, preferring to use the
   `plist` crate rather than a hard coded string.
