sessionmonitor-systemd: Use sd_uid_get_state() to check session activity
    
    Instead of using sd_pid_get_session() then sd_session_is_active() to
    determine whether the user is active, use sd_uid_get_state() directly.
    This gets the maximum of the states of all the user’s sessions, rather
    than the state of the session containing the subject process. Since the
    user is the security boundary, this is fine.
    
    This change is necessary for `systemd --user` sessions, where most user
    code will be forked off user@.service, rather than running inside the
    logind session (whether that be a foreground/active or background/online
    session).
    
    Policy-wise, the change is from checking whether the subject process is
    in an active session; to checking whether the subject process is owned
    by a user with at least one active session.
