Notify service startup to systemd

Benjamin Berg requested to merge benzea/sd-notify into master

Using the bus name to notify service startup to systemd has some disadvantages. The main one being that systemd will consider a gnome-shell restart (Alt+F2 r) a service failure and restart the shell and clean up all its children (i.e. user launched applications). In the future the shell should launch applications in their own transient unit.

Another potential issue is that we must never load gnome-shell-wayland.service and gnome-shell-x11.service at the same time, as systemd does not want to services providing the same bus name.
