Authd based authentication fields cannot be translated

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[ Impact ]

The authd gdm UI labels are not translated.

We rely on authd-provided labels for most of things, but still there are widgets elements at shell level that we should translated and that we currently don't expose in the po files.

[ Test case ]

Strings in authd.js should be available in launchpad for translators

[ Regression potential ]

None
