Add a GNOME Fallback session

This was removed from gnome-session 3.7.4 so let's it add it back here

Jeremy's patch, updated to use the new name "GNOME Flashback"

Thank you Jeremy for looking into this.

When compiling against a current jhbuild world-3.8 tree, I get a gnome-session half-starting, and then showing the new Fail Whale screen (though some windows are visible in the background). Also, it spews an error that it's trying to call some unknown method on consolekit (unknown to both wheezy's and quantal's system CK) - however I'm not sure if that is the reason for the fatality, need to investigate further.

Anyhow, to at least post something, here's Jeremy's patch updated to include the rename to "Gnome Flashback".

Cheers all !
