Subject: [PATCH] enable udisks2 and run udiskie as a user unit

udiskie was installed but never actually launched - nothing in the dotfiles autostarts it, and services.udisks2 was off, so even once started it had no daemon to talk to. binds it to graphical-session.target (managed by uwsm) so it starts and stops with the session. only touches removable media: udisks2 reports the internal sata disks as HintSystem=true, so the drives declared in disks.nix are left alone.
