[TC-542] TO init.d script needs to be converted to SystemD service unit file about trafficcontrol HOT 5 OPEN

This doesn't actually affect the ability of a CDN to function, since right now all of our supported platforms support init.d scripts - so I'm marking this as minor.

/etc/init.d/traffic_ops needs to be converted from the SysInit V to the LSB style of /etc/systemd/system/traffic_ops.service for Centos 7.x

from trafficcontrol.

Title is inaccurate. SystemD is not Linux Standard Base. SystemD is not a standard. Init scripts are the LSB standard. Converting our init scripts to SystemD is moving away from the standard.

Still needs to be done

Yeah, I don't know that I agree it needs to be done. LSB init scripts work fine, and SystemD has no plans to stop supporting them AFAIK.

SystemD scripts can do some things LSB init can't (without external, UNIX-style coordination), and if we need those things we can do a rewrite. But if we don't, I don't think there's a reason to invest the development time to move away from the Standard.
