manager: Allow gnome-shell to change logout type
gnome-shell changes the logout type from shutdown to reboot whenever
it triggers an offline update (i.e. via PackageKit). The system reboots,
applies the update offline, and then shuts down at the end.
This worked in gnome-session 48, but in gnome-session 49 the refactor
introduced a check to block this kind of logout type changing. This
commit reverts back to the gnome-session 48 behavior

Set fixed gettext POT template name
Avoid changing the POT template name with every release.
The gnome-session API version does not matter for translatable strings.
The domain being diffrent prevents some translation services like launchpad.net
from re-using translations from the previous version, without a good reason.

leader: Find and set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
Previously we relied on something to magically set
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS for us before executing us. In practice, this
is a weird legacy codepath in pam_systemd.so, which sets this
environment variable for backwards compatibility with software that
expects it to be set. This is a bit of a layering violation (considering
the socket doesn't even exist at that point) and a hack
In fact, in 2018 [1] systemd tried removing this hack, because the
various dbus client libraries learned to look in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus
for the session bus. This change was later reverted because some
software misbehaved when $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unset
This came up again in the context of gnome-session 49 getting ported to
OpenRC, which doesn't have the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS hacks that
systemd has
This commit cleans this all up. First, we use gdbus's existing logic to
find an appropriate dbus session bus socket even if
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS isn't set in our environment. Second, we set
the environment variable to ensure that it's always set, for backwards
compatibility with software that misbehaves without it.

gnome-session-inhibit: Fixup option parsing
In GNOME 48 and older, gnome-session-inhibit would stop parsing options
whenever it encountered something unknown. Then argv was executed as the
command to run, with all of its options.
In GNOME 49 I replaced the bespoke option parser with GOptionContext,
but didn't think of the behavior change. Now gnome-session-inhibit looks
at _all_ the options, including the ones passed into the command-to-run
We can fix this by enabling "strict posix" mode, which brings back the
previous parser's behavior

util: Re-enable reaping on the apps we launch
In GNOME 48, after we launched an app we would manually start watching
it so that we could emit some signals when it goes away. This
functionality has since been removed, but I neglected to unset the
DO_NOT_REAP flag when I did so. This causes gnome-session to leave
around a bunch of processes as zombies
