After Tumbleweed OS/distro updating, telegraf fails (and failed) to get running
somtimes. Reason is that an MQTT host might not be online (yet) and
telegraf.service autorestarting is too fast, so then no telegraf active and
failures due to that in my homeautomation.

I added: 
RestartSec=30

in telegraf.service, after the comments line:
# end of automatic additions

So my expectation is: During a next update, my own modified telegraf.service
stays as is. But it is actually overwritten by a newer / package provided
version. A telegraf.service.rpmnew is created also, but that is quite useless
if the resulting telegraf.service is the same and my own fixes get overwrittng.

Solution would be to not overwrite the users modifications or at least not
after a comment line that suggests that user changes after that are save.

Other solution is to take my RestartSec=30 as default in the package, so others
might also benefit from it.
