Research direction

Start by inspecting the /etc/sv/elogind service and reproducing the failure after updating to linux 6.18.38_1 with elogind 252.39_1; compare the behavior with upstream issue 195. Done means the service creates /run/user/$(id -u) and normal X11 or Wayland login and reboot work again.
