nixos/xsession: use graphical systemd user target
While systemd suggests using the pre-defined graphical-session user
target, I found that this interface is difficult to use. Additionally,
no other major distribution, even in their unstable versions, currently
use this mechanism.

The window or desktop manager is supposed to run in a systemd user service
which activates graphical-session.target and the user services that are
binding to this target. The issue is that we can't elegantly pass the
xsession environment to the window manager session, in particular
whereas the PassEnvironment option does work for DISPLAY, it for some
mysterious reason won't for PATH.

This commit implements a new graphical user target that works just like
default.target. Services which should be run in a graphical session just
need to declare wantedBy graphical.target. The graphical target will be
activated in the xsession before executing the window or display manager.

Fixes #17858.

# This module declares the options to define a *display manager*, the
# program responsible for handling X logins (such as xdm, gdb, or
# SLiM). The display manager allows the user to select a *session
# type*. When the user logs in, the display manager starts the
# *session script* ("xsession" below) to launch the selected session
# type. The session type defines two things: the *desktop manager*
# (e.g., KDE, Gnome or a plain xterm), and optionally the *window
# manager* (e.g. kwin or twm).

# SDDM is calling this script like the following:
# $1 = /nix/store/xxx-xsession (= $0)
# $2 = <desktop-manager>+<window-manager>
# SLiM is using the following parameter:
# $1 = /nix/store/xxx-xsession <desktop-manager>+<window-manager>
# LightDM keeps the double quotes:
# $1 = /nix/store/xxx-xsession "<desktop-manager>+<window-manager>"
# The fake/auto display manager doesn't use any parameters and GDM is
# broken.
# If you want to "debug" this script don't print the parameters to stdout
# or stderr because this script will be executed multiple times and the
