Subject: [PATCH] systemd: Disable pipewire user services for root

​

The `access(2)` based multi-user mediation mechanism doesn't quite work

for the root user, which may cause it to conflict with a running

foreground user session. Prevent this by not running the user service at

all for the root user, which nobody should be doing anyway.
