Subject: [PATCH] daemon: don't send spurious change signals when wtmp changes
Right now, we unintentionally send out a changed signal for
every tracked user anytime wtmp changes.
This commit fixes that.

Subject: [PATCH] wtmp-helper: don't call getpwnam()
The wtmp helper code examines /var/log/wtmp to determine which
users log in the most frequently.
That code calls getpwnam() once for every entry in /var/log/wtmp.
This is very inefficient, since getpwnam() can be quite slow, and
/var/log/wtmp will often have the same users repeated over and
over again.
Also, we don't actually use the result for anything other than verifying
the existence of the user! And we already verify the existence of
the user later later in the code in a more efficient way (by finding
the user in the users hashtable).
This commit just drops the unnecessary getpwnam() call.

Subject: [PATCH] data: don't send change updates for login-history
The login-history property of user objects can be quite large.
If wtmp is changed frequently, that can lead to memory fragmentation
in clients.
Furthermore, most clients never check login-history, so it's
wasted memory and wasted cpu.
This commit disables change notification for that property. If
a client really needs to get updates, they can manually refresh
their cache when appropriate.
