    Delay login animation until after wallpaper has loaded
    
    Currently, the login animation can occur before the user's wallpaper has
    been loaded. When this happens, we wind up displaying a solid blue
    background for half a second or so before the proper background is
    displayed. This looks jarring and bad. It's great that we can start
    GNOME quickly, but starting up before the wallpaper is ready is *too*
    quickly.
    
    I've been meaning to fix this since 2014. Better late than never! We can
    just have BackgroundManager emit a loaded signal the first time it loads
    its first background, and have the startup animation code wait for that
    before proceeding.
    
    Some of this code is by Florian, who helped with promisifying.
