fix(headless/kde): make libei input work headlessly — portal + pre-seeded RemoteDesktop grant

Browse Source

On a headless KDE appliance, libei input injection silently failed: the EIS socket comes from the
xdg RemoteDesktop portal, which never came up, and even up it would pop an unanswerable "Allow
remote control?" dialog. Three fixes in run-headless-kde.sh, all idempotent + safe on the dev box:
- Reach graphical-session.target: xdg-desktop-portal is ordered behind it and its start job fails
  without it, but a headless linger session never gets there and Fedora's target has
  RefuseManualStart=yes — drop that in once, then start the target.
- Start the portal with `start` (the old `try-restart` is a no-op when inactive — the first-boot
  case), so it actually comes up.
- Pre-seed the RemoteDesktop grant: vendor the `kde-authorized` permission-store GVariant DB and
  copy it to ~/.local/share/flatpak/db/ (never clobbering an existing one), so the portal grants
  RemoteDesktop without a dialog. Shipped by the RPM + .deb.

Diagnosed + fixed live on the Fedora 44 KDE box: libei devices RESUME and emit (MouseMove/keys).
