PIDFile , StandardOutput, StandardError and mcollective.service
Consolidate all the existing mcollective drop files back into the main mcollective unit file.
Also fix some warnings on CC9 that cannot be fixed with drop files, see https://gitlab.cern.ch/ai/it-puppet-module-cernmco/-/merge_requests/73 for failed attempt at fixing with drop files.

push this into the main mcollective unit file.
Use ascii and avoid use of fancy unicode and colours in some commands.

Remove PIDFile, StandardOutput=syslog,StandardError=syslog
Dropping PIDFile is clearly fine and correct since we do not even create a PIDFile for sometime.
As for StandardOutput and Error we switch to the defaults:
- On CC7 and CC8 this switches the properties from 'syslog' to:
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=inherit
- On CS9 the properties are already being overridden to journal so this change does nothing
I see no reason to not just set these to the the defaults, the logs end up in journald whatever.
From a deployment point of view the existing drop files will do no harm and they can be cleaned up after without urgency.
