[gnome-shell/wip/rstrode/login-screen-extensions: 83/134] main: Show a warning when running as root

    main: Show a warning when running as root
    
    gnome-session used to show a dialog in this case, but a
    notification is more natural nowadays. Doing it in gnome-shell
    avoids complicated synchronization between gnome-session and
    gnome-shell.
