[Bug 1555917] [NEW] acpid event logging is not working when ran with systemd

[Vasili Sviridov]

Public bug reported:

I'm writing some custom scripts for acpid. If I stop the systemd spawned
process and run my own from root account using "acpid -d" flag, I can
see the output of the handler scripts appear in the logs, which helps me
to debug my handler code.

However when it's running under systemd the logs do not contain handler
output and the handler does not function correctly, simply stating that
the handler has terminated with error code 1.
