Implement systemd-userdb's dynamic greeter API #129

Description

@Skyb0rg007

systemd only allows one graphical session per user. To allow an arbitrary number of greeters to be displayed on an arbitrary number of seats, systemd recommends greeters implement the systemd-userdb Varlink API to dynamically allocate greeter uids and gids in the 60578-60705 range (mentioned here).

I'm not sure how atrium handles this requirement, but gdm used to need to pre-allocate uids for this (gdm-greeter, gdm-greeter-2, etc.), but added the gdm-dynamic-user-store (source) to implement this dynamic allocation and integrate with systemd-userdb.
