Subject: [PATCH] manager: Schedule deferred plymouth quit on session
registration
On headless or no-monitor systems, gnome-shell can register the session
but won't register the display, leaving plymouth running indefinitely.
That makes the system unusable because it didn't reach graphical.target.
Schedule a deferred plymouth quit when RegisterSession is called on a
local display, using the same REGISTER_DISPLAY_TIMEOUT (10s) as the
session wrappers. If RegisterDisplay arrives first, the timeout is
cancelled and plymouth is quit immediately with transition as before.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] manager: Add RegisterDisplay again
1. RegisterSession is used to record a session login. It should be
called when the new session is started.
2. RegisterDisplay is used to terminate pending greeters and plymouth
to reach graphical.target. It should be called once the new session
completes its graphics startup.
RegisterSession was trying to do both before new session startup was completed.
This had a potential issue: the new session is setting up while the greeter
session is tearing down leading to configuration conflicts.
Fixes: deeb4b8aba46e37a1f6dcb85252ed713183cb170 ("manager: Combine register
display with register session")

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] session: Call RegisterSession and RegisterDisplay from
session launchers
RegisterSession is called when the session starts to record the login.
RegisterDisplay is called after a delay to terminate pending greeters
and plymouth once graphics have settled.
This follows the workflow established in the previous commit where
RegisterSession and RegisterDisplay serve distinct purposes.
