Be more specific in the case of authentication error

When an authentication error occurs SPICE_CLIENT_ERROR_AUTH_NEEDS_PASSWORD or
SPICE_CLIENT_ERROR_AUTH_NEEDS_PASSWORD_AND_USERNAME is returned as a channel
error. But it can happen that only username is needed when you use e.g. GSSAPI.
It would be useful to have SPICE_CLIENT_ERROR_AUTH_NEEDS_USERNAME so that
clients don't show authentication prompt which asks for username and password
in this case (so it asks just for username).

Attached patch adds the error.

It would be great if spice-gtk wouldn't ask for this at all and used default
principal's name for such situations.
