Switch user feature has disappeared from GNOME Shell since upgrade

Bug description:
Impact
======
Ubuntu 16.04's accountsservice was built without systemd support because
systemd dropped libsystemd-login because that functionality was merged into
libsystemd.
At a minimum, this broke GNOME Shell's "Switch User" feature.
Test Case
=========
1. From Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1, install the updated accountsservice packages.
2. Because Ubuntu does not automatically restart accountsservice on upgrades
like Debian does (maybe we should?), you'll need to run this command:
sudo systemctl restart accounts-daemon.service
Or just restart your computer.
3. Add a user if necessary to ensure you have at least 2 user accounts
configured.
4. Click the system status area in the top right of GNOME Shell.
5. Click your user name. Extra options should appear including "Switch User"
Regression Potential
====================
None.
This change was made in Debian's accountsservice 0.6.40-3 a year ago(!). The
patch is upstreamed and was included in accountsservice 0.6.42 released in June.
