    server: invoke X with the systemd multi seat X wrapper if necessary
    
    systemd 39 and newer provide a small wrapper for X which works around
    the fact that XOrg upstream currently support multi-seat hotplug for
    displays. Let's make use of this as a stop-gap until this feature is
    added to XOrg upstream.
    
    This code tries to be as defensive as possible and makes use of the
    wrapper only if the system as actually booted with systemd, the wrapper
    is available and we actually use a seat != "seat0".
