logind: Fix user_elect_display() to be more stable

The previous implementation of user_elect_display() could easily end up
overwriting the user’s valid graphical session with a new TTY session.
For example, consider the situation where there is one session:
   c1, type = SESSION_X11, !stopping, class = SESSION_USER
it is initially elected as the user’s display (i.e. u->display = c1).

If another session is started, on a different VT, the sessions_by_user
list becomes:
   c1, type = SESSION_X11, !stopping, class = SESSION_USER
   c2, type = SESSION_TTY, !stopping, class = SESSION_USER

In the previous code, graphical = c1 and text = c2, as expected.
However, neither graphical nor text fulfil the conditions for setting
u->display = graphical (because neither is better than u->display), so
the code falls through to check the text variable. The conditions for
this match, as u->display->type != SESSION_TTY (it’s actually
SESSION_X11). Hence u->display is set to c2, which is incorrect, because
session c1 is still valid.

Refactor user_elect_display() to use a more explicit filter and
pre-order comparison over the sessions. This can be demonstrated to be
stable and only ever ‘upgrade’ the session to a more graphical one.
