Hermes Wingtips #16: gateway won't restart after a reboot? enable lingering

a user-service gateway runs under your login, so it stops at logout and won't come back after a reboot until you enable lingering.

headless VPS, zero root per restart:

hermes gateway install
sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER

or go boot-level: sudo hermes gateway install --system
