Run discover-overlay-wait as a user unit and rework the vidthumb cache

vidthumb names thumbnails by a hash of path, size and mtime instead of a jq index that broke on quotes in filenames; systemd-tmpfiles removes ones unused for 30 days. discover-overlay-wait now runs from a systemd user unit started by xmonad and logs to the journal.
