Install SeaweedFS on Ubuntu from source and run mount as service

Install SeaweedFS on Ubuntu from source and run mount as service.md

This sucked.

Make sure to change the FILER variable, as well as the SAVE_DIR variable based on what you need.

This installs and runs the SeaweedFS binary from source on Ubuntu, then runs the mount as a service.

Make sure to use the updated Golang-go package, as it is down below. This will not compile on Ubuntu's current version of go which is outdated, and will give errors. (Ubuntu gives 1.13.8 by default).
