[ Michael Terry ]
* Reverse default for the user option "allow launcher/panel in greeter
when locked." And allow that property to be controlled by an
AccountsService property. (LP: #1358340) (LP: #1358340)
* With recent password support, we want to be able to unlock the
device even with a password set. And we need to be able to do this
once the new adbd lands. So I've added a DBus command to hide the
greeter. This should be secure because all apps are constrained and
if you're on the local session bus unconstrained, you already have
access to anything you want.

Bug description:
A recent change in the interest of security removed access to the
indicators when the phone is locked and the greeter is showing.
This was an accentual change based on a misunderstanding
There had been a plan to support media playback control via the sound
indicator. Without this the user must unlock the phone in order to
simply pause the music or change songs, etc.
----------------------------
Desired resolution:
- Revert the change that caused this issue
- Add a switch to System Settings to enable security conscious user to
switch off Launcher and Greeter access while the phone is locked.
This setting should *always* be off by default.
