man: don't claim we'd set XDG_SEAT and XDG_VTNR as part of service management 

Previously, reading through systemd.exec(5) one might get the idea that
XDG_SEAT and XDG_VTNR are part of the service management logic, but they
are not, they are only set if pam_systemd is part of a PAM stack an
pam_systemd is used.

Hence, let's drop these env vars from the list of env vars, and instead
add a paragraph after the list mentioning that pam_systemd might add
more systemd-specific env vars if included in the PAM stack for a
service that uses PAMName=.
