Hi,

This patchset enables Wayland support for GDM: launching GDM itself on Wayland and launching Wayland sessions (the former requires the latter).
This is my first contribution, so do not hesitate to give any feedback (I also haven't setup `git send-email` yet so this is a manual mail).

1. Enables optional support for launching a Wayland GDM session.
2. Adds a wrapper for Wayland sessions in order to setup the environment, similar to the default `/etc/profile` or `xinitrc`.

Best,
Josselin Poiret

My bad, I've confused my email addresses, so both patches were sent twice. Please disregard the duplicated mails.

On another note, I've only been testing with `sway` and don't really have the disk space right now to test Wayland GNOME itself, but I think it should work fine. Maybe someone else can pitch in on this.

I've tested launching a Wayland GNOME session on x86-64 and everything 
works as expected there. Thanks for the patches!

Best,
Jack
