Did a quick test synching goerli. Looks to be working.

Wouldn't it make sense to have "ipcdisable" as an option to be able to enable attaching to geth?

@excogitation I ussually attacht to the node over http via geth attach http://localhost:8545. Adding an option would sure be possible. Do you see an advantage in having IPC too? The option could also be added later should the need arise.

As the module supports multiple instances, it might also be worth to create a wrapper script geht-<instance>, that has the correct parameters already set.

@bachp I do not see an advantage to that. That makes sense.

@excogitation To be honest I don't even know if ipc would work as we use the DynamicUser feature from systemd. So the state directory where the ipc file is create might not be accessible by any user, excep the dynamically created one.

@RaghavSood @Mic92 Could you take a look at this MR?

I do not want to rename the package to to geth.
Geth is just one of the binaries in this package and the upstream repository name is go-ethereum.

I would be fine with an alias mapping geth to go-ethereum.

@bachp I decided to make go-ethereum multi output in #113960 so this service doesn't need to pull in the entirety of go-ethereum in the runtime closure.
This reduces the service closure by roughly 200M.

I did the following changes:

• package now defaults to go-ethereum.geth
• package is now added to the systemPackages to be able to interact with the daemon
• added test that checks if the daemon starts up with the correct network

All good. Thank you!
