Bug#760168: dh-systemd: support for -X option

[Michael Stapelberg]

Did you try whether it actually works already?

In dh_compress and dh_fixperms I see -X is documented but I don’t see
special code to support it. Given that dh_systemd_* also use the same
Debhelper library functions that those other two examples use, I think
it should already just work…?
