patch to raise service_start_timeout in session.conf does nothing and is unnecessary

Bug Description

Ubuntu has a long-standing patch claiming to raise the session service startup timeout from 25s to 60s (with a comment saying it is raised to 40s).

However, this patch is pointless, for two reasons:

* A later directive in the same file which takes precedence, also sets the service_start_timeout.
* That later directive sets the service_start_timeout to 120s, so even if the patch worked as intended, it would be *reducing* the timeout.

Please consider dropping this.

In case it isn't obvious, the patch I mean is debian/patches/81-session.conf-timeout.patch.

The default service_start_timeout on the session bus was raised to 120s between dbus 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 (in 2007).

This bug was fixed in the package dbus - 1.9.20-1ubuntu2

---------------
dbus (1.9.20-1ubuntu2) wily; urgency=medium

  * debian/dbus.postinst: Check if /run/dbus exists before writing to a file
    there. If it doesn't then the system bus isn't running so we don't have
    anything to restart anyway.
