lomiri: Let shell honour GRID_UNIT_PX variable's value

Follow-up issue for qtmir#5 (closed)

How to reproduce this issue:

  • Install Debian 13 minimal on physical hardware (e.g. a notebook) or a VM, and run apt install lomiri. Reboot.
  • Login into Lomiri
  • Launch an app, e.g. lomiri-system-settings (the cogwheel icon in the launcher's drawer)
  • Observe font size, icon size, etc.
  • Logout
  • Now edit /usr/bin/lomiri-session (via tty) and enforce a GRID_UNIT_PX value of 16 (default is 8)
  • Login into Lomiri again.
  • Observe font size, icon size, etc. again

What you will observe:

  • In Lomiri apps, the fonts and icons will be twice the size compared to before tinkering with GRID_UNIT_PX in /usr/bin/lomiri-session
  • But the shell itself (launcher, drawer, indicators, spread, etc.) will not be scaled up

What should happen:

  • All UI elements of the Lomiri shell and of Lomiri apps should scale when tinkering with GRID_UNIT_PX.
