elogind support

[tidux]

Does anything in here need any systemd features besides udev or elogind? If not, creating non-systemd profiles would make this overlay the best (only?) way to get Unity without systemd on any major distro.

I second this, because I use MATE which is working 100% perfectly with OpenRC glibc Gentoo amd64 except for the fact that for Gentoo, the Ubuntu-MATE-originated components mate-tweak and brisk-menu are only packaged and maintained in this overlay, so I have had to install them using custom ebuilds from my local overlay because attempting to install them from this overlay results in a systemd -related dependency conflict, which means they are not safely installed because I will not receive automatic maintained upgrades for them. Compare how the OpenRC distro Alpine cleanly packages mate-tweak clearly without any dependency on systemd: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86_64/mate-tweak

mate-tweak now packaged in gentoo/gentoo without any dependency on systemd. Brisk-menu upstream has stability problems so IDK if I'll try to do that to any other packages from this overlay, but it would probably still be good for the actual Unity users to have openrc someday.
