Run updatedb with low scheduling priority

On my workstation, plocate-updatedb often starts right after waking up
from suspend in the morning, consuming a lot of CPU time and slowing
down other running processes. Mitigate this by specifying a low
scheduling priority in the unit file.

For reference, man-db's unit file does the same:
