[Bug 1867133] [NEW] Ubuntu logo vanishes and fades back in on gdm start

spinner theme flickers Ubuntu logo on gdm transition

At the end of boot, spinner disappears and Ubuntu logo remains 100%
opacity white on screen.

Then GDM starts, and performs a fade-in animation of background
gradient, and fade-ins Ubuntu logo.

This results in visual flicker, where Ubuntu logo temporarily
dissappears and instantly fades back in.

This should be more smooth. For example, gdm could paint ubuntu logo at
100% opacity white without animation, whilst everything else fades-in.
Or we could fade out ubuntu-logo in the spinner plymouth theme, such
that on boot it is a tasteful pulsating logo that fades out, and back
in.
