This drops the libsystemd-terminal and systemd-consoled code for various
reasons:
* It's been sitting there unfinished for over a year now and won't get
finished any time soon.
* Since its initial creation, several parts need significant rework: The
input handling should be replaced with the now commonly used libinput,
the drm accessors should coordinate the handling of mode-object
hotplugging (including split connectors) with other DRM users, and the
internal library users should be converted to sd-device and friends.
* There is still significant kernel work required before sd-console is
really useful. This includes, but is not limited to, simpledrm and
drmlog.
* The authority daemon is needed before all this code can be used for
real. And this will definitely take a lot more time to get done as
no-one else is currently working on this, but me.
* kdbus maintenance has taken up way more time than I thought and it has
much higher priority. I don't see me spending much time on the
terminal code in the near future.
If anyone intends to hack on this, please feel free to contact me. I'll
gladly help you out with any issues. Once kdbus and authorityd are
finished (whenever that will be..) I'll definitely pick this up again. But
until then, lets reduce compile times and maintenance efforts on this code
and drop it for now.

This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.

This adds a first draft of systemd-consoled. This is still missing a lot
of features and does some rather primitive rendering. However, it shows
the direction this code is going and serves as basis for further testing.
The systemd-consoled binary should be run as `systemd --user' unit. It
automatically picks up any session marked as Desktop=SYSTEMD-CONSOLE.
Therefore, you can use any login-manager you want (ranging from /bin/login
to gdm) to create sessions for systemd-consoled. However, the sessions
managers must be prepared to set the Desktop= variable properly.
The user-session is called `systemd-console', only the daemon providing
the terminal environment is called `systemd-consoled' (mind the 'd').
So far, only a single terminal session is provided on each opened
user-session. However, we support multiple user-sessions (even across
multiple seats) just fine. In the future, the workspace logic will get
extended so you can have multiple terminal sessions in a single
user-session for easier access.
Note that this is still experimental! Instructions on how to run it will
follow shortly.
