Marco Trevisan (Treviño) 36fba1a184 gdm: Do not fail the whole authentication if a background service failed
In case a background service such as the fingerprint authentication
fails to start we'd just mark the whole authentication process as
failed.

Currently this may happen by just putting a wrong password when an user
has some fingerprints enrolled, the fingerprint gdm authentication
worker may take some time to restart leading to a failure and this is
currently also making the password authentication to fail:

    JS ERROR: Failed to start gdm-fingerprint for u: Gio.DBusError:
        GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.Failed:

Given that background services are ignored even for queries or any kind
of message, we should not fail the authentication request unless the
default service fails.
