Today we suggest that users set `ES_TMPDIR` using `export`, which only works if you're running things directly from the shell. Yet most users encountering `ES_TMPDIR` problems seem to on RHEL and trying to run things via `systemd`, for whom the `export` suggestion doesn't work. This commit adds to the docs a suggestion of how to adjust the `systemd` service file to set the appropriate environment variable. Relates elastic#80651

The systemd unit file is part of the Elasticsearch package and should not be edited. Instead, we recommend creating a service override file. This commit tweaks the docs for setting tmp dir with systemd to use the override file instead of editing the unit file. relates #93121
