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:
            Could not create authentication helper process

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.
