dbus-user-session uses the file based Unix socket in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus.
Extend the dbus-session-strict abstraction to also allow that.

Subject: dbus-session-strict: allow access to the user bus socket
If dbus is configured with --enable-user-bus (for example in the
dbus-user-session package in Debian and its derivatives), and the user
session is started with systemd, then the "dbus-daemon --session" will be
started by "systemd --user" and listen on $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus. Similarly,
on systems where dbus-daemon has been replaced with kdbus, the
bridge/proxy used to provide compatibility with the traditional D-Bus
protocol listens on that same socket.
In practice, $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is /run/user/$uid on all systemd systems,
where $uid represents the numeric uid. I have not used /{var/,}run here,
because systemd does not support configurations where /var/run and /run
are distinct; in practice, /var/run is a symbolic link.
Based on a patch by Sjoerd Simons, which originally used the historical
path /run/user/*/dbus/user_bus_socket. That path was popularized by the
user-session-units git repository, but has never been used in a released
version of dbus and should be considered unsupported.

mistakenly did not incorporate feedback from Seth Arnold. Specifically, don't
specify label=unconfined on the abstract sockets.

- the base abstraction for common abstract and anonymous rules (comments
included per rule)
- dbus-session-strict to add a rule for connecting to the dbus session
abstract
socket. I used 'peer=(label=unconfined)' here, but I could probably lose the
explicit label if people preferred that
- X to add a rule for connecting to the X abstract socket. Same as for
dbus-session-strict
- nameservice to add a rule for connecting to a netlink raw. This change could
possibly be excluded, but applications using networking (at least on Ubuntu)
all seem to need it. Excluding it would mean systems using nscd would need to
add this and ones not using it would have a noisy denial

Move some of the file rules from the existing permissive session bus
abstraction into a new strict session bus abstraction. Leave the
dbus-launch rule in the permissive profile since not all applications
will need it.
The strict abstraction only allows for calling the Hello, AddMatch,
RemoveMatch, GetNameOwner, NameHasOwner, and StartServiceByName methods
that are exported by the D-Bus daemon.
The permissive abstraction reuses the strict abstraction and then allows
all communications on the session bus.
