Draft: ElementaryOS pantheon desktop w/ systemd

Doesn't get very far yet... The pantheon greeter is totally broken.

lightdm PAM config needs to be adjusted to reference pam_systemd.so instead of pam_elogind.so (maybe we should add a symlink?).

If you make it to the desktop by using the GTK greeter (and choose "secure session" for wayland) then you'll just get a wallpaper and a lot of kernel messages about wingpanel crashing with SIGTRAP.

Haven't debugged further.

For what it's worth, this is being worked on in Alpine already: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16564

Aside from that, I'm not a fan of packaging a desktop environment as big as Pantheon downstream in postmarketOS without someone committed to long-term maintenance. Maintaining GNOME in Alpine is not a small amount of work.

deleted the master_staging_systemd branch. This merge request now targets the master branch

added status::mr-stale label

Sorry to bother you @caleb,

but we've detected that this merge request hasn't seen any recent activity. If you need help, want to discuss your approach with developers, or you are all done and this is waiting for review, you can ping @postmarketOS. You can also ask on matrix in #devel:postmarketos.org or #postmarketos-devel on OFTC.

Thanks for your contribution.

Closing as per previous feedback. We now have systemd integrated, so any desktop should be added following the procedures we have and following upstream. Please re-open if I'm wrong, but I assume this needs a considerable rework
