screenShield: Avoid unfocused authentication view after resume

When suspending on the authentication page of the lock screen in a user
session, the session resumes with the authentication dialog shown but
its password entry field unfocused. Instead, focus moves to the
authentication dialog itself while _ensureUnlockDialog() in
screenShield.js is called on resume.

Avoid this edge case by switching to the clock view instead before
suspend, which also provides a more consistent user experience.
