On reauthentication, ask logout if there's an existing session

Joan Torres requested to merge joantolo/gdm:ask-logout-existing-session into main

This fixes 8th item of gnome-remote-desktop#180. And also #900 (closed).

This depends on gnome-shell!3134 (merged).

When the login gnome-shell finds out there's a conflicting session when opening a session, it displays a dialog allowing the user to shutdown the conflicting session.
When shutdown is selected, GDM will receive that through the greeter interface method, StopConflictingSession, and calls TerminateSession with logind.

Here is a video that shows the behaviour:
