Since PackageKit 1.11.1, the prompt to install updates on the end session dialog has been (mostly) broken. The problem is that it only works if PackageKit is running at the time the end session dialog is opened; otherwise, our GDBusProxy has invalidated all of its properties, which we read to see if update is possible. We need to autostart PackageKit before reading its properties to fix this problem. That would be easy if we were calling a method to see if an update or distro upgrade were available, but since we're just checking a property, using cached properties won't suffice. We'll have to manually check the property value to ensure we autostart PackageKit. Most of the code is written by Florian. Thanks Florian! Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2276
