Wayland session manager for standalone compositors

uwsm (Universal Wayland Session Manager) provides a lightweight, modular session management framework for Wayland environments based on systemd user units and various helpers.

It handles various session-related tasks for standalone Wayland compositors, such as:

  - startup from login shell or DM
  - dynamic loading and cleanup of environment variables for graphical session
  - binding lifetime of graphical session and login session together

It sets the stage for systemd to do launch and lifecycle management, XDG autostart, clean shutdown.

dbus-broker is recommended for better systemd integration and environment cleanup.
