Latest online accounts breaks unity-scopes-api

[Michi Henning]

We just got this test failure on zesty:

https://jenkins.canonical.com/unity-api-1/job/build-2-binpkg/arch=armhf,release=zesty/1022/consoleFull

Search for "OnlineAccountClientTest.service_update_callback"

In the log, we see "GDBus.Error:com.google.code.AccountsSSO.SingleSignOn.Error.MethodNotKnown: Authentication method is not known."

This test has worked for well over a year and has never failed. Something must have changed outside scopes-api.

This is certainly due to some of the latest changes in online-accounts-api, but the test is wrong and it was working by accident. :-)
The test creates an account for the "TestProvider" provider, but there is no TestProvider.provider file in the data/ directory of the tests. Just create such a file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<provider id="TestProvider">
  <name>Test provider</name>
  <icon>testprovider</icon>
</provider>

False alarm. This only seems to be failing on the zesty armhf build (not amd64). On the armhf builder it looks like the mock is not starting up quick enough (slow builder), so the tests just go on to use the system signon service instead.
