Add systemd service file to components or fix requirements for initd

<!--
## This Improvement request (usability, performance, tech debt, etc.) affects these Traffic Control components:
- Traffic Control Cache Config (`t3c`, formerly ORT)
- Traffic Control Health Client (tc-health-client)
- Traffic Monitor
- Traffic Ops
- Traffic Portal
- Traffic Router
- Traffic Stats
- Grove

## Current behavior:
As we are upgrading OS from Centos 7 to Rocky Linux 9, we hit the issue where all the components are using SystemV and not Systemd. It is possible "but not default" to install initscripts on these servers but I'm seeing improper use of systemd in the build spec of some of the components.

For example, traffic_ops is using init.d (like all of the components) but it uses systemctl to stop services (instead of service). This means we are already using a mix of both which doesn't work. Traffic Ops can be installed, but can't be removed cleanly due to failing script:

```
Running transaction
  Preparing        :                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Running scriptlet: traffic_ops-6.1.0-11828.224f98d0.el9.x86_64                                                                                                                                                                       Failed to stop traffic_ops.service: Unit traffic_ops.service not loaded.
error: %preun(traffic_ops-6.1.0-11828.224f98d0.el9.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 5
```

To uninstall, those scripts needs to be bypassed:

```
yum remove --setopt=tsflags=noscripts traffic_ops
```

Furthermore, `initscripts` installs fails if there is a file in /etc/init.d directory. That means that you need to install initscripts before installing traffic_ops.

## New behavior:
We should support both SystemV and Systemd during the install.
If not, we could possibly change the RPM requirements to add initscripts. If we do that, we also need to check if the current service is using systemd and need to issue a `systemctl daemon-reload` during the install. If not done, you can't start/stop services as it doesn't detect the new /etc/init.d scripts.
