logind: listen actively for session devices
Session compositors need access to fbdev, DRM and evdev devices if they
control a session. To make logind pass them to sessions, we need to
listen for them actively.
However, we avoid creating new seats for non master-of-seat devices. Only
once a seat is created, we start remembering all other session devices. If
the last master-device is removed (even if there are other non-master
devices still available), we destroy the seat. This is the current
behavior, but we need to explicitly implement it now as there may be
non-master devices in the seat->devices list.
Unlike master devices, we don't care whether our list of non-master
devices is complete. We don't export this list but use it only as cache if
sessions request these devices. Hence, if a session requests a device that
is not in the list, we will simply look it up. However, once a session
requested a device, we must be notified of "remove" udev events. So we
must link the devices somehow into the device-list.
Regarding the implementation, we now sort the device list by the "master"
flag. This guarantees that master devices are at the front and non-master
devices at the tail of the list. Thus, we can easily test whether a seat
has a master device attached.
