Copy Paperless service files to systemd directory before enabling them.

Browse Source 
The problem with the original instruction is that systemd creates a
symlink pointing to the service file in the paperless directory. A user
is unlikely to leave the changes in the service files committed
(especially not on a master branch checkout) and they are easily lost and
the services fail to start without obvious reason.

To avoid this we simply copy the service files to the systemd directory
directly and use the files in the repository only as an example.
