fix(install): add early systemd detection to prevent mid-install failures

Browse Source 
- Enhance `handle_systemd()` to check for `/run/systemd/system` and exit early if systemd is not PID 1, with user-friendly error messages.
- Update README.md notes for Devuan and SYSTEMD_MODE to reflect the new behavior and clarify requirements.
