Feature Description

Please, add to documentation part, how to run act runner as a linux service.

I assume this could be something like:

Create service file in /lib/systemd/system/act_runner.service

[Unit]
Description=Gitea act_runner daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment=HOME=/root
WorkingDirectory=/root
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/act_runner daemon

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Run commands:
systemctl enable act_runner.service ; systemctl start act_runner.service

Just make sure that you set WorkingDirectory to the directory that you have put the .runner file
