** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Authentication using Ubuntu One credentials to install/remove snaps always  
fails. This is due to a behaviour change in snapd (no longer accepts login 
requests from non-root users). Existing credentials continue to work.
  
  [Test Case]
  1. Delete any existing credentials by deleting passwords marked 
"com.ubuntu.UbuntuOne.GnomeSoftware" using Seahorse.
  2. Start GNOME Software
  3. Search for a snap (e.g. "moon-buggy")
  4. Install Snap
  5. Enter Ubuntu One credentials when prompted
  
- Expected result:
- 
  Observed result:
  Dialog says "Incorrect email or password".
  
  Expected result:
  Authentication completes and the snap is installed.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  The solution is to use a new D-Bus service (snapd-login-service) and new 
library (snapd-glib) to get the Macaroon from snapd. This has some risk of 
introducing new bugs. The change is minimised (other snapd code paths 
unchanged) and the alternative is login to be impossible.
