Bug Description

[impact]

gdm on cosmic running in the autopkgtest is flaky and sometimes fails to start; when it does it causes other systemd service failures like 'user@118.service' or other services, which fail the test case.

the test_gdm3 testcase was already skipped because of this in bug 1790478, the test_no_failed testcase needs to be skipped as well if gdm fails to start.

[test case]

the failure is intermittent, but looking through old cosmic systemd autopkgtest logs look for:

May 23 11:13:38 autopkgtest systemd[1]: user@118.service: Killing process 1251 (systemctl) with signal SIGKILL.
May 23 11:13:38 autopkgtest systemd[1]: Stopped User Manager for UID 118.

[regression potential]

low; testcase skipping due to flaky gdm inside autopkgtest, only on cosmic.
