Update session-management.md

That avoids this issue:

This is just one option, for one wayland compositer, not sure if the general documentation is a good place for that.

But, where then? I know some years ago this project had a wiki. Maybe write a new subsection for sway?

All of this is already mentioned in https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/session-management.html?highlight=elogind#elogind (save for the polkit part, see #694). Also, you can run Sway with seatd just fine, as @Duncaen states.

also, the dbus-elogind-* packages are probably not necessary, regular dbus should be fine

[classabbyamp]

unless this is changed to be more generalised, this would better fit as a README.voidlinux in the sway package

I think what is true is that wlroots-based compositors, when using elogind, also require polkit (our elogind is built with polkit enabled, but polkit is not installed as a dependency), otherwise you get the error above (e.g. it happened to me with river). Of course seatd works fine.
