logind: save /run/systemd/users/UID before starting user@.service

Previously, this had a race condition during a user's first login.
Some component calls CreateSession (most likely by a PAM service
other than 'systemd-user' running pam_systemd), with the following
results:

- logind:
  * create the user's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
  * tell pid 1 to create user-UID.slice
  * tell pid 1 to start user@UID.service

Then these two processes race:

- logind:
  * save information including XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to /run/systemd/users/UID

- the subprocess of pid 1 responsible for user@service:
  * start a 'systemd-user' PAM session, which reads XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
    and puts it in the environment
  * run systemd --user, which requires XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in the
    environment

If logind wins the race, which usually happens, everything is fine;
but if the subprocesses of pid 1 win the race, which can happen
under load, then systemd --user exits unsuccessfully.

To avoid this race, we have to write out /run/systemd/users/UID
even though the service has not "officially" started yet;
previously this did an early-return without saving anything.
Record its state as OPENING in this case.
