Subject: [PATCH] terminal: add system view interface

We're going to need multiple binaries that provide session-services via
logind device management. To avoid re-writing the seat/session/device
scan/monitor interface for each of them, this commit adds a generic helper
to libsystemd-terminal:

The sysview interface scans and tracks seats, sessions and devices on a
system. It basically mirrors the state of logind on the application side.
Now, each session-service can listen for matching sessions and
attach to them. On each session, managed device access is provided. This
way, it is pretty simple to write session-services that attach to multiple
sessions (even split across seats).

+ * System View
+ * The sysview interface scans and monitors the system for seats, sessions and
+ * devices. It basically mirrors the state of logind on the application side.
+ * It's meant as base for session services that require managed device access.
+ * The logind controller API is employed to allow unprivileged access to all
+ * devices of a user.
+ * Furthermore, the sysview interface can be used for system services that run
+ * in situations where logind is not available, but session-like services are
+ * needed. For instance, the initrd does not run logind but might require
+ * graphics access. It cannot run session services, though. The sysview
+ * interface pretends that a session is available and provides the same
+ * interface as to normal session services.
