Description
__Proposal:__
Need the ability to run InfluxDB v2 as a Windows Service. Telegraf current supports this as described here:
https://docs.influxdata.com/telegraf/v1.20/administration/windows_service/
__Current behavior:__
Unable to resgister InfluxDB v2 with the Windows service registry.
__Desired behavior:__
The capabilities enabled by Telegraf are what should also be supported by InfluxDB v2
__Use case:__
This allows InfluxDB v2 to run "lights out" on an Windows host and it will restart upon reboot.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Telegraf Windows service documentation and the InfluxDB v2 startup path. Determine the required service registration, lifecycle, and reboot behavior, then identify the relevant implementation and validation points; done means InfluxDB can be registered, started, stopped, and restarted as a Windows service.
