systemd: wait for network-online.target and add WantedBy=multi-user.target

Thanks to that, "systemctl enable spectrum2" does what expected, that is
makes Spectrum2 start on boot. Also, network.target doesn't tell anything
meaningful - it's just that the network stack is available.
Adding network-online.target makes sure that the network interfaces are up
before starting Spectrum2.

Spectrum 2 introduces backends. Backends are external application which provides a way how to connect to legacy networks, so it's possible to use even different libraries than Libpurple to connect the legacy network. However, Libpurple is still the best library to use so far.

This page contains the list of currently supported backends with the basic information about them.

h2. How to change backend

Backends are switched in Spectrum 2 config file using the following option:

|_. Section|_. Option|_. Value|
