This adds a new API to AuthRequestor so that ActivcateContext can notify the user about auth results. It notifies about success, failure and when the user supplied credential is badly formatted for the indicated type. It also provides a way to indicate when there are no more tries left for a type. The Plymouth implementation of this sends messages to Plymouth to be displayed. The systemd implementation of this logs errors to stderr. Fixes: FR-12404

I would call it console rather than stderr just because it has to be clear that this should not just go in the journal, but also to the user.
Maybe the doc needs to say that it is used to notify the user about auth result.

question, any reason for this not to be a String method instead?

I didn't implement a String method here because I wasn't sure I wanted this to be part of the public API, although I don't mind really.
