96fa518576 mutter-launch: augment with VT and TTY handling
Set the TTY mode appropriately at startup, and clean it up
when the compositor exits. Also, take control of VT switching,
including the calls to drmSetMaster and drmDropMaster as appropriate.
In the future, we the kernel implements the mute evdev ioctl,
we'll also make sure that input devices are appropriately released.

e263b3624c mutter-launch: use systemd to obtain the TTY
Using the command line or an environment variable is dangerous,
as those can be spoofed to gain access to other sessions.

1c34f0b342 mutter-launch: make sure that the spawned binaries sees the right libraries
Being a setuid binary, our LD_LIBRARY_PATH is cleared by glibc at
startup, but we need the spawned binary to see it, otherwise
jhbuild doesn't work, so hardcode it using the configured libdir.

2d27873f98 mutter-launch: simplify by removing features we don't need
Remove the ability to launch as a different user, which we don't
need because we're spawned by gdm or by the user manually on the
command line.
At the same time, require an active local session, and remove
the ability to run from anywhere by being in the right user group
(which automatically gives you root-like privileges)

fd40a12213 wayland: import weston-launch setuid launcher
To run mutter as a display server, one needs to acquire and
release the DRM master, which is only possible for root, so
we take advantage of weston-launch, a small setuid helper binary
written for the weston project. We import our own slightly
modified copy of it, because weston-launch only launches weston,
for security reasons.
