Here are patches; I based them on what gdm3 does. In my testing on an
embedded Debian derivative, they seem to interoperate nicely with xdm.

I haven't tried to do anything clever with NODM_ENABLED: even if nodm is
the default display manager, it still won't start unless NODM_ENABLED has
a suitable value. In practice I would expect that the sort of platforms
where nodm is useful will pre-seed nodm's configuration (that's what
we do on the platform I'm interested in).
