systemd: Ensure systemd shuts down OpenVPN in a proper way

By default, when systemd is stopping OpenVPN it will send the SIGTERM
to all processes within the same process control-group.  This can come
as a surprise to plug-ins which may have fork()ed out child processes.

So we tell systemd to only send the SIGTERM signal to the main OpenVPN
process and let OpenVPN take care of the shutdown process on its own.

If the main OpenVPN process does not stop within 90 seconds (unless
changed), it will send SIGKILL to all remaining processes within
the same process control-group.

This issue have been reported in both Debian and Fedora.
