Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Retry starting the display server

Even if the CanGraphical property of a Seat is true, it's possible that it's
still too early for X to start, as it might need some driver or device which
isn't present yet.

Fixes #1316

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Explicitly stop Xorg when starting fails

When Xorg starts but there is an error, stop it explicitly instead of assuming
that X exits itself. This avoids a possibly lingering Xorg process in the
XorgDisplayServer instance. Add a check and warning message if Xorg is
restarted too early (shouldn't happen).
