Allows multiple time logins to work

I've successfully configured timed login.
However, it only works the first time gdm starts.
Once the initial user logs out, timed login does not happen again, even though gdm indicates that timed login will happen (with the timed login progress bar).

The attached patch fixes the problem.

daemon: allow multiple time logins to work

GDM currently lumps timed login with autologin when deciding whether or
not to skip it, if it's already happened once this boot.

That's the wrong behavior, and indeed will create a confused experience,
because it's not what the login screen provided by gnome-shell
expects.

This commit allows timed login to work after the user logs out.
