Joachim Wiberg cdf2337346 configure: build sulogin, watchdogd, and libsystemd by default
v5.0 ships keventd and the D-Bus support enabled out of the box, but the
remaining bundled pieces stayed opt-in, and the help text for two of them
already claimed otherwise.

Default all three to yes; --without-sulogin, --without-watchdog, and
--without-libsystemd opt out.  The distcheck and CI configure lines drop
the flags they no longer need, so CI exercises the defaults.
