Consider replacing some of our code with the GDM->GNOME session keyboard layout passthrough

As https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Input_device_configuration says, “a layout manually chosen in gdm will be transferred into the session as an additional keyboard layout”. This might allow us to drop some of our super-racy code in PostLogin.default and/or tails-configure-keyboard (#7912 (closed)). It might actually explain why our setting of /org/gnome/libgnomekbd/keyboard/layouts in tails-configure-keyboard is racy.

See the aforementioned URL and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602145 for details.
