gdm: Override any other lower-priority service message on error

Browse Source 
When we got an error, all the other HINT or INFO messages are not useful
anymore and delaying to show them is just a waste of time and may be
even wrong in scenarios with fast authentication devices.

An example are the fingerprint devices, where the user may touch the
sensor repeatedly while we may still show the "touch the sensor" hint
instead of notifying of possible errors.

So, in case we got an error override all the other errors coming from
the same service with lower priority.
