Bug#597504: Remote TimedLogin disabled in gdm3

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
TimedLogin key only works on local $DISPLAY.
In gdm <= 2.20 we can use something like this:
TimedLogin=/etc/gdm/gdm-autologin-script|
This script based on $DISPLAY for example returns a username and GDM
do autologin stuff (local and remote).
In new GDM, daemon/gdm-xdmcp-display.c hardcode empty user and disable
autologin.
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624958
I attach a patch that enable it again.
The patch can be better if read security/AllowRemoteAutoLogin key
(deprecated in newest GDM).
