Debian 10 weewx, running as non-root, cannot be stopped

[Cameron D]

Due to recent changes with Debian Buster there are some situations where systemctl will refuse to shut down or restart weewx, due to the pidfile not being owned by root.

I don't know if this applies to installations in /home, but it certainly does when installed using the debian package.

The fix requires a simple change to the init.d script, which I have written up at the bottom of the wiki about running as non-root user.

Good eye, and good fix. Thanks, Cameron!
