Right now we show "(or swipe finger)" at the user login prompt
any time we detect a fingerprint reader.
Checking for the presense of a fingerprint reader isn't really
sufficient for knowing if it is appropriate or not to show the
message, though. Often, a user's fingerprint won't be enrolled
in the system even if the machine has a fingerprint reader.
In this scenario, we end up in a situation where the code will
fade out the message right after fading it in, or worse, fade
out the message while fading it in.
The former case looks flickery and bad, and the latter case
causes the login dialog to lock up since it never completes its
"show prompt" animation and we don't procede with the login
process until after that animation.
If a user is enrolled in the system, the fingerprint pam module
tries to tell the user to swipe their finger. We never show the
user that message because it's redundant with our own "(or swipe
finger)" message and because it uses techy words like "UPEK" and
"TouchStrip".
This commit changes the code to defer showing "(or swipe
finger)" until the fingerprint pam module forwards us its own
message. This makes it less likely we'll show the message when
fingerprint login won't work, and also removes the fingerprint
animation from the critical path "show prompt" animation.

js2-mode is no longer developed and we recommend js-mode these days,
so switch the modelines to specify that, and make them consistent
across all files.

This commit adds the ability to log in with a fingerprint instead
of a password (assuming the user is enrolled and fingerprint
isn't disabled via gsettings)

If there's no scrollbar in the user list it grows as the
user arrows around. This is because it wasn't taking
padding into account when computing its destination size.

Making users have to log in to power off the machine isn't a good idea.
This commit adds a power menu similar to the one in the fallback greeter
which offers 3 items:
- Suspend
- Restart
- Power off

The session list is supposed to hide itself if
1) the user is already logged in
2) there is only one xsession file installed
There was a bug causing 2) not to work.
This commit fixes that bug.

This commit adds GDM session support.
It provides a user list that talks to GDM,
handles authentication via PAM, etc.
It doesn't currently support fingerprint readers
and smartcards.

In order for transformation animations to look good, they need to be
incremental and have some order to them (e.g., fade out hidden items,
then shrink to close the void left over).
Chaining animations in this way can be error prone and wordy using just
Tweener callbacks.
This commit adds a new set of classes to help:
- Task. encapsulates schedulable work to be run in a specific scope.
- ConsecutiveBatch. runs a series of tasks in order and completes
when the last in the series finishes.
- ConcurrentBatch. runs a set of tasks at the same time and completes
when the last to finish completes.
- Hold. prevents a batch from completing the pending task until
the hold is released.
The tasks associated with a batch are specified in a list at batch
construction time as either task objects or plain functions.
Batches are task objects, themselves, so they can be nested.
For now, these APIs are temporarily getting staged in a gdm/ specific
subdirectory so they will be available for use by GDM. They aren't
specific to GDM, or even to doing animations, though, so the API may eventually
move in some form or another to a more general location. Alternatively, the
APIs may ultimately get dropped entirely and replaced by something else.
