Add systemd session setup to gar-session.sh

Enable proper systemd user service integration:
- Import DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY to systemd user session
- Update D-Bus activation environment
- Start gar-session.target (binds to graphical-session.target)

This allows user services like garbg.service to start reliably
at login with access to the X11 display. The gar-session.target
is needed because graphical-session.target has RefuseManualStart=yes.

Pattern follows sway-systemd, i3-session, and ArchWiki systemd/User.
