manager: support just-in-time reauthentication for non-GDM sessions
Right now, gnome-shell can't unlock screens running on an X server that isn't managed by GDM (say Xvnc or startx). This is because GDM handles the backend processing for unlocking, and it handles that backend processing from the worker associated with the session. If there is no worker associated with the session (as is the case with Xvnc and startx), then there's no process to handle reauthentication. This commit notices that case, and creates a transient worker on the fly just to perform one off authentication for unlock of non-GDM managed sessions. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726283
