TailsData notification show when setting up persistence in buster

Originally created by @anonym on #16632 (Redmine)

I had to work around this in the automated test suite: we were originally matching against the title “Persistence Wizard - Persistent volume configuration”, but since it it partially blocked (and the notification never disappears unless you hover/click it) I switched to the “Specify the files…” line below instead. Also, a shortcut to TailsData is added in GNOME Places and the GNOME Files sidebar (doesn’t happen when ).

IMHO this notification is a bit invasive and should be suppressed. And exposing access TailsData might lead users to trying to write to it but the amnesia user lack permissions (the potentially writable sub-folders (e.g. Persistent) are created next boot).

Feature Branch: bugfix/16632-hide-TailsData
