Diagnostics settings flips to Never without any user action

[Ravi Kant Sharma]

[ Impact ]

In GNOME Settings' Diagnostics page, the switch to control automatic bug reporting to Canonical automatically flips to "Never" after 1 minute of the page being open without interaction

The bug triggered because the DBus service that manages the automatic-bug-reporting configuration ("whoopsie-preferences") quits after 1 minute of inactivity, and GNOME Settings receives an "invalidation" signal when that happens.
We are fixing the issue by detecting that the service has quit in which case we should not refresh the state of the setting.

A further change should be applied to the whoopsie-preferences service to avoid quitting when there are clients still listening for potential settings changes.

[ Test Plan ]

 * Open GNOME Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Diagnostics

 * You should see `Send error reports to Canonical` set to `Manual` by default.
   > If instead it is set to Never, change it now to another option.

 * Stay on the settings page for more than 60 seconds

 * The setting should have remained the same and *not* have automatically changed to `Never`.

[ Where problems could occur ]

This patch also tries to re-start the "whoopsie-preferences" daemon when it automatically stops after 60 seconds, because GNOME Settings should keep listening for settings changes from external factors. This should not present any issues, but it's the most "intrusive" part of the patch.

[ Original Description ]
steps to reproduce.
1. Open Gnome Settings
2. Go to Privacy -> Diagnostics
3. You should see `Send error reports to Canonical` set to Manual by default.
4. Stay on the settings page for some time (maybe <2 mins), the setting will slip to Never.

You could also try to change the settings to Automatic and stay on the page, it will also flip to Never within a couple of minutes.

I noticed this on Jammy, Mantic, and Noble.

Thanks, it's a visual issue and probably not worth a rls target but still we will put into our backlog

I'm tagging as rls-oo-wontfix because we are not going to track it as a rls issue but we still intend to fix the problem
