    display: Exit with failure if loading existing users fails
    
    Given not having users may make GDM to launch initial setup, that
    allows to create new users (potentially with sudo capabilities), it's
    better to make look_for_existing_users() to return its status and only
    if it didn't fail continue the gdm execution.

    Fixes #642
