Merge #12452: docs: clarified systemd installation instructions in init.md for Ubuntu users.
4d14d06 docs: clarified systemd installation instructions in init.md for Ubuntu users. (DaveFromBinary)
Pull request description:
Added a note to init.md to clarify the .service copy path for Ubuntu because it differs from the described copy path.
Also noted which version of Ubuntu switched to systemd for the default system init to clarify when the systemd installation steps should be used instead of the upstart installation steps for Ubuntu users.

Upstart is the default init system for Debian/Ubuntu versions older than 15.04. If you are using version 15.04 or newer and haven't manually configured upstart you should follow the systemd instructions instead.
