This PR introduces the ability to start, stop and restart the go-sbot systemd process via the /settings/scuttlebutt menu. The buttons are conditionally rendered based on the current mode (ie. if the process is currently running, only the Start sbot and Restart sbot buttons are displayed). A flash message is displayed to communicate whether the action was successful or not.

I've also introduced a checkbox element to the Configure sbot form to allow for enabling / disabling the process. This is titled: Run pub on startup. The Scuttlebutt status page now also shows whether this feature is enabled or disabled.

One other small UI change: I set the colour of the inner circle on the homepage according to the state of the go-sbot process. If the process is active: green. If the process is inactive: orange. This will need more attention but it has feel pretty darn cool while I've been testing :)

Note to myself for later: consider changing all sbot language to pub. Then the settings menu would have buttons such as Start pub instead of Start sbot.
