dbus-launch: add --exit-with-x11 option

This is more suitable for distributions' Xsession scripts: it verifies
that X is already available, and so never results in an attempt to poll
stdin.

+.I \-\-exit\-with\-x11
+If this option is provided, a persistent "babysitter" process will be
+created, and will connect to the X server. If it cannot do so, launching
+fails. If the "babysitter" process loses its X connection,
+it kills the message bus daemon, disconnecting all of its clients (which
+should exit in response). This avoids having leftover daemon
+processes from a user X session, after the X session has ended.

+If it cannot connect to the X server, it will monitor the terminal from which

+will be killed. This option is not recommended, since it will consume input
