From: Randolph Sapp <rs@ti.com>

Now that we have a display manager, users can have the option to choose
a session manager with the default emptty configuration. Currently this
could be either mini-x-session or matchbox-session.

Previously, only one was selectable via update-alternatives logic
switching out the x-session-manager link that xserver-nodm-init would
unconditionally use. From my testing this normally resulted in
matchbox-session being chosen.

Now xserver-nodm-init will use a DEFAULT_SESSION variable to configure
the automatic login session, and both of these session managers will
provide unique desktop entries for their respective sessions.

The loose default for DEFAULT_SESSION will be matchbox-session to keep
in line with the existing behavior.
