Franck Bui 49f7149947 pam_systemd: fix regression introduced in v258 by preserving the FIFO fd
Upstream commit 3180c4d introduced a version incompatibility between
pam_systemd.so v258 and logind v257. This is problematic because such version
mismatches can occur in practice: logind still cannot be restarted during a
systemd package upgrade (it's a long-standing limitation, see
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17308).

When pam_systemd requests a new session, logind v257 returns a FIFO
fd. pam_systemd.so v258 ignores this fd and closes it. logind interprets the
closure as the session leader exiting and immediately terminates the session.

This patch partially reverts commit 3180c4d and restores the handling of the
FIFO fd in pam_systemd. The change is limited to the D-Bus APIs, since the
varlink API was only introduced in logind v258.

Follow-up for 3180c4d461.
