Battery Level Polling on systemd based system is lmt-poll timer

So... On systemd based systems, Laptop Mode Tool's Battery Polling
Daemon functionality is only supported through the "lmt-poll" systemd
timer unit only.

With this change, we check for if whether we are running under systemd
because otherwise, we run into this below scenario, where the
lm-polling-daemon ends up sleeping in an endless loop with intervals of
150 seconds.

When doing a `systemctl restart laptop-mode.service`, this issue reflect
in the command going hung because of the loop I explained above.
Eventually, systemd kills the long running process but that is not what
should happen.

By checking on what environment are we running under, we avoid the loop
and the sleep within it.
