Instructions for running homebridge as root are out of date

[conradlee]

In early May 2022 Homebridge changed some paths. So if you're using a newer version of homebridge, the instructions in README.md no longer work.

I've found a solution...The steps you now need to take to run homebridge as root are as follows:

1. From the command line, run sudo systemctl edit homebridge.
2. Change the configuration file to the following

[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=    # a blank ExecStart is required to override
ExecStart=/opt/homebridge/start.sh --allow-root

Then save the file and exit the editor.

3. Now restart homebridge by running sudo systemctl restart homebridge

I've created a PR to update the docs with these instructions here.
