[X] Correction

[ ] Cleanup (formatting, typos, etc.)

Proposed Changes

There are several issues with the migrating to systemd instructions at https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/migrating-to-systemd/

  1. It says If using CentOS/RHEL. (with a trailing full stop), making it unclear which of the following step(s) it qualifies.

  2. It talks about creating /etc/sysconfig/netbox.env. This is completely redundant; all other references to netbox.env were removed in commit 9352867c

  3. It tells you to create gunicorn.conf, whereas it should be gunicorn.py. Looking through git history, at previous times in development it went through gunicorn.conf and gunicorn_config.py, and I don't know what 2.6 users would have had. Maybe existing users can rename their existing file - or at worst they create gunicorn.py from scratch from the contrib/ sample.

In general, I think this doc needs to be made consistent with the primary installation instructions for systemd at https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/3-http-daemon/#systemd-configuration

FYI we don't use checkbox markup in the template because GitHub interprets them as tasks to be completed:
