endSessionDialog: Do not run gnome-software in 'gdm' mode

The gnome-software runs for a logged-in user, in the D-Bus session bus.
Running it for the 'gdm' user can be wrong both for user privileges,
and because the 'gdm' user does not have a home directory, thus
the gnome-software needs to cache everything from scratch, which
takes time and resources, delaying the open of the Reboot/Power Off
confirmation dialog.

Closes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/work_items/9040
