Keyutils includes a .pc file as mentioned in commit 141f8bc2, however its
name was wrongly changed from 'libkeyutils' during the meson port

No matter what parameter was passed to gdm, the custom.conf was always
installed in $gdmcomnfdir/custom.conf, even if the config.h was using the
configured path.

Ensure that we use the passed argument, setting its name as configure_file
output and its path as the install_dir.
Unfortunately we've to be hackish here, using coreutils tools until we
require meson 0.53 (and can use its FS module).

When udev is installed we compute the udevdir from pkg-config, however that
is only the parent folder of the rules.d, so in any case consider it a
prefix.

Don't leave to humans what machines can do, the gnome-login.session list
is filled with an hard-to-maintain single-line semicolon separated list of
components, that then are repeated in the gnome systemd session.conf.
And these are meant to be kept in sync.

Meson can help us in this, so let's just keep a single list in meson and
use it to generate the various formats we need.

With meson 0.53 we can check whether a binary is in a specified path, as it
was possible with `AC_PATH_PROG`, so use it as we did before of meson switch
even if I'm not sure that this tool is shipped by most distros these days

Systemd journal library is provided by libsystemd, given that such API has
more than 8 years, is probably not needed to convert this into a feature and
check for a required systemd version in case it's enabled.

So, just set ENABLE_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL just reading the option.

This was already the case in autotools, as it used to be a feature that was
set to auto and disabled only in the case there was no libsystemd.

Now, being systemd a required gdm component, there's no point to use it as
a feature, but still give the packagers the ability to toggle it.

GDM has a quite complex configuration and it might be hard to spot some
values from the log, so having a summary makes sense.

Meson introduced it starting from 0.53, but we can enable it without bumping
the dependency by using a dynamic version check.

This is now equivalent to StandardOutput=journal, and recent versions
of systemd log a warning for it. Instead of updating it to journal,
remove it: the default if not specified is to respect the
DefaultStandardOutput setting from /etc/systemd/system.conf, which
in turn defaults to journal. Removing the explicit setting here means
gdm is included if a sysadmin edits system.conf to change the logging
destination for (almost) all system services at the same time, which
seems desirable.

Similarly, StandardError defaults to DefaultStandardError, which
in turn defaults to inherit, so we don't need to override it here.

Some people insist on running sessions in ways where we cannot detect
them properly. In that case, we shouldn't find a display, but the
variable was not initialized and we could end up accessing random memory
resulting in a crash.

Fix it by adding the missing initializer.

Closes: #555

The get_display_and_details_for_bus_sender function does not return a
proper error value. Due to this, it makes sense to always write the out
parameters (though, I expect we have still more that we might need to
write).

This is just slightly safer, but the function probably isn't great as
is.

When GDM is configured as a standalone XDMCP server, the manager quits
Plymouth by running 'plymouth quit --retain-splash'. This is not ideal
because there is no transition to a local X server. The terminal can be
then left from the Plymouth run in the graphics mode with no getty
prompt and also disallowing switching to another VT. The patch fixes the
problem by instead running 'plymouth quit' which always switches the
terminal to the text mode.

gjs and gnome-shell now exist there, so we no longer need to avoid
depending on them. In particular this makes the GNOME metapackages
installable on that architecture again.
