Added file camera_relay.py that turns camera on/off based on daylight status. Camera remains on for daylight and astronomical twilight, and turns off for night, determined by calculating sun altitude at given location. Check frequency, sun altitude threshhold, and location are parameters that can be adjusted.
Also added a 'setting up systemd services' section in readme with instructions on creating and starting .service file.
