system: vm-image.tmpl: Add a crutch to allow refreshing the resolution.
Inspired by
https://github.com/jollheef/appvm/commit/1270b2e209bc002e69bbe6351ad5b04b7facfcc8.
The price to pay is about 5% of a CPU core usage in the guest in the worst
scenario.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
(auto-update-resolution-crutch): New mcron job.
[services]: Extend the mcron-service with it.
