Title: loginmanager: Fix leak caused by absent child limit

A regression in 2.8 causes the door to not track child removal if the
connection limit is set to -1. This causes the door to eventually run out of
memory.

Rather than just restoring the pre-2.8 logic, the patch causes the login
manager to track children regardless of the limit. Even when the child count
isn't needed and even when the list of children isn't published to a login
broker, there are other features in the login manager that rely on it (such as
keep alive).
