Start the UI only on behalf of a valid logged user or avoid running it

Wails already does this: the GUI is started by a per-user LaunchAgent.
So starting the GUI assumes there is a user that is logging in to refer to.

We are aligning the auto-update to this model here.

IF there is a user, restart the GUI otherwise wait for a login.

WHY it didn't happen before 0.75: cause the Fyne GUI never wrote any ui_preferences.json file
or any other in users $HOME folder.

So it's a problem related to the new GUI and has nothing to do with MDM.
