Request password-manager-service auto-connection for Storage Explorer

The basic idea is that if your snapcraft.yaml you has something like:

apps:
  foo:
    command: bin/bar
    plugs:
    - password-manager-service

then create a shell script named ‘bin/bar.wrap’ (untested), adjust the snapcraft.yaml to use ‘bin/bar.wrap’ instead, and in it do:

#!/bin/sh
set -e

tell_user() {
    ...
}

alerted_user="$SNAP_USER_DATA/.advised-on-password-manager"
if [ ! -f "$alerted_user" ]; then
    # XXX: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/bug-1809708-allow-snaps-to-query-interface-connection-status-directly-from-snapd/9147
    dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.secrets /org/freedesktop/secrets org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect >/dev/null 2>&1 || tell_user
    touch "$alerted_user"
fi

exec /path/to/bin/bar "$@"

Then implement tell_user() using zenity or yad or something (you might find this and this useful). Hope this helps!
