[Spice-devel] spice-vdagent user systemd unit

Just a quick followup to old thread
"Fedora 34 guests can no longer paste from host"
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2021-April/052351.html

The problem is purely relying on autostart which can be buggy in this case,
see downstream bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1951580
and relevant upstream bug,
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/18791

One workaround is to provide a systemd user unit to run spice-vdagent
also/instead.  Here's the first iteration I came up with:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/spice-vdagent/blob/rawhide/f/spice-vdagent.service
(pretty simple)

Feedback is welcome, and I'd encourage you to adopt this upstream too.
Thanks.
