dbus: Add --enable-user-session like BLFS
This will install dbus.service and dbus.socket into
/usr/lib/systemd/user.  In a base LFS installation the systemd per-user
daemon is not usable at all, so they may seem useless.  But if we
install them, we can start to use them once systemd is rebuilt with PAM
in BLFS (without rebuilding dbus).

<para>D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk
to one another. D-Bus supplies both a system daemon (for events such as
"new hardware device added" or "printer queue changed") and a
per-user-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs among user
applications). Also, the message bus is built on top of a general one-to-one
message passing framework, which can be used by any two applications to
communicate directly (without going through the message bus daemon).</para>
