authPrompt: Notify error messages in GDM login/unlock

Sergio Costas requested to merge Sergio.Costas/gnome-shell:fix-wrong-password-announcement into ubuntu/noble

The announcement API in old versions of GTK doesn't work as in modern ones, and an announcement can be "eclipsed" by the normal message from a widget receiving the focus.

The way to fix this is to also deliver the message when the password entry receives the focus.

This only happens in Noble; in Plucky it works as expected.

The Ubuntu bug is the same than the original bug.
