Use logind instead of utmp because of Y2038

Bi-arch systems line x86-64 present the Y2038 problem, where an overflow
can be produced because some glibc compatibility decissions (see
https://github.com/thkukuk/utmpx/blob/main/Y2038.md for more
information)

This patch uses logind from systemd instead of utmp on Linux systems, if
the systemd version is support the new API (>= 254).
