[Bug 1307595] [NEW] systemd-logind fails to start in unprivileged containers

[Stéphane Graber]

Public bug reported:

Because of systemd-logind using the "limit" upstart stanza, it fails to
start in unprivileged containers where the ulimit is lower than the
requested one.

The proposed fix is to call ulimit from the job itself instead and
ignore the failure (it'll get logged though in case this ends up causing
some issues).
