Nginx source code does not contain a service file for systemd.  You're
free to re-use the one shipped in the official packages available on
http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#mainline.

Also, it might be worth rebuilding an official source rpm package - the
fedora systemd support is in there, it's just we don't build those
packages specifically for fedora linux.
