logind: Save the user’s state when a session enters SESSION_ACTIVE
When (for example) switching from X11 to a new VT and logging in there,
creating a new session, the user state file (/run/systemd/users/$uid) is
not updated after the session becomes active. The latest time it is
saved is when the session is in SESSION_OPENING.
This results in a /run/systemd/users/$uid file which contains
STATE=online for the current user on the current active VT, which is
obviously wrong.
As functions like sd_uid_get_state() use this file to get the user’s
state, this could result in things like PolicyKit making incorrect
decisions about the user’s state. (See

title="NEW - Please use sd_uid_get_state() to make security decisions, not sd_pid_get_session()"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=76358">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76358</a>.)
Fix this by re-saving the state for a session’s user after completing
the state_job for that session.</pre>
