Minor fix for manual Makefile uninstallations

If the Mandos systemd unit file was not installed, it was still
removed by the "purge-server" target.  If systemd is not installed,
this could mean removal of "mandos.service" from the root directory.

(Note: this was *not* used by the Debian package as a method of
uninstallation; this was only ever done by the Makefile if "make
purge-server" was called by hand.  And a "mandos.service" file was
presumably also unlikely to exist in the root directory.)

* Makefile (purge-server): Only remove systemd service file
  "mandos.service" if the same conditions exist which permitted its
  initial installation in the "install-server" target.
