2014-10-03console: add user console daemonDavid Herrmann
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.
