Subject: [PATCH] logind: automatically GC lingering users for who now
 user@.service (nor slice, not runtime dir service) is running anymore

This heavily borrows from @intelfx' PR #5546, but watches all three
units that are associated with a user now: the slice, the user@.service
and user-runtime-dir@.service.

The logic and reasoning behind it is the same though: there's no value
in keeping lingering users around if all their three services are gone.

Replaces: #5546
Fixes: #4162
(cherry picked from commit 4e5b605af202c770dfc8e3562d0f8d0440b2fe14)

Related: #1642460
