// InteractiveUserToken returns a user token (security context) for the
// interactive desktop session attached to the default console (i.e. what would
// be seen on a display connected directly to the computer, rather than a
// remote RDP session). It must be called from a process which is running under
// LocalSystem account in order to have the necessary privileges (typically a
// Windows service). Since the service might be running before a local logon
// occurs, a timeout can be specified for waiting for a successful logon (via
// winlogon) to occur. The returned token can be used in e.g.
// CreateProcessAsUser system call, which allows e.g. a Windows service to run
// a process in the interactive desktop session, as if the logged in user had
// executed the process directly. The function additionally waits for the user
// profile directory to exist, before returning.
