Fix: sessiond fails to launch on --without-ust configuration

The sessiond will never signal that it is ready (in daemonize or
background modes) if it was built without lttng-ust. The fix in
7eac7803 made the main thread wait for the agent thread to be
ready before signalling that the session daemon is ready.

When agent tracing is not possible due to the absence of lttng-ust,
a stub function is used to launch the agent thread. This stub
must call sessiond_notify_ready() in order to unblock the main
thread.

Note that it would be _incorrect_ to not wait for the agent
thread to be launched as users expect all tracing features to
be available as soon as 'lttng-sessiond --daemonize/--background'
returns.

Not waiting for the thread to be ready caused very rare failures
of the agent tracing tests on the CI, especially on ARM and
PowerPC targets.
