Blank entry in switch user account menu

[Jamal Fanaian]

An account with no name (only a username) will show a row in the Switch User Account menu with a face icon, but no name.

To reproduce:

1. From a terminal, create a new account using adduser: adduser testing
2. Enter a password twice
3. Leave the optional values as the default by pressing enter (Full Name, Room Number, etc.)
4. Open the switch user account menu, and notice the blank entry

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

I've updated the spec to use the login name in this case.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SessionMenu?action=diff&rev2=18&rev1=16>

I've included the pathological case where account A has a full name identical to the login name of account B that has an empty/whitespace full name.

  * Recommend yelp, gnome-control-center and gnome-control-center-signon
    since we try and launch these applications.
  * Use username as label if the real name is empty or whitespace. (LP:
    #872908)
  * Use unity-control-center if it is available. (LP: #1257505)

  [ Sebastien Bacher ]
  * clean out the extra-sessions directory, it's a leftover.
  * drop unused cmake file, it refears to geary and doesn't seem useful
    there.
