"Additional software" locks the opening of the desktop

Originally created by @sajolida on #9059 (Redmine)

From PostLogin.default in the Greeter, tails-additional-software install is run when the desktop is started. This can take several minutes during which the desktop is unresponsive. This should instead be done in the background.

See a patch in attachment that corrects this behavior, but I’m not knowledgeable about the GNOME internal to know if that’s a good idea.

Team: alan (code), sajolida (ux), kurono (reviewer), segfault (reviewer), u (maybe)

Blueprint: https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/additional_software_packages/dont_block_desktop_startup

Feature Branch: bugfix/9059-additional-software-after-session greeter:bugfix/9059-additional-software-after-session
