Print deprecation notice when running SUID
SUID privilege drop is needed for the "builtin"-backend of libseat,
which copied our old "direct" backend behavior for the sake of
compatibility and ease of transition.
libseat now has a better alternative in the form of seatd-launch. It
uses the normal seatd daemon and libseat backend and takes care of SUID
for us.
Add a soft deprecation warning to highlight our future intent of
removing this code. The deprecation cycle is needed to avoid surprises
when sway no longer drops privileges.
