example service file

Hi,

I'm using systemd 207 on an Archlinux.

When using %h and setting User= to an user which does not exist, I get the
following, non-descriptive error in my journal:

test.service failed to run 'start' task: Cannot allocate memory

See the attached service file for an example. Probably, the user check should
take place before %h gets substituted or so.
