Thanks to the work on logind, our Weston package already works as
non-root if you launch it as `weston` instead of `weston-launch`.

When xorg-server 1.16 is released, this will also work for X. I've been
planning on splitting out `weston-launch` from the regular Weston
package or simply removing it (unsure if there are any usable video
drivers requiring it) and I assume the setuid binary for X will have a
similar fate.
