hostinfo, tailcfg: add desktop detection on Linux to hostinfo

From the machines tab its hard to differenciate desktop Linux installs from
server Linux installs. Transmitting this information should make this
determination a lot easier.

Due to the reality that tailscaled is likely a system process, the standard
checks based on XDG_SESSION_TYPE or DISPLAY environment variables are not
possible (those variables won't be set). Instead, we look for listening
unix sockets that are typical of desktop installs.
