Bug description:
  We want to let privileged processes (such as those using the
  "unconfined" profile template) to access any online account without
  having the need of being added to the account's ACL.

  signond and libsignon-qt already support connecting via a p2p D-Bus
  backed by a unix socket ("$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/signond/socket"), but it's
  currently switched off at build time. We should enable it.

  signon-apparmor-extension has to be changed so that a peer connected
  via the p2p D-Bus connection will always be treated as "unconfined".

  While apparmor policy already disallows access to this socket,
  apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu needs to be modified so that the "accounts"
  policy will contain an explicity deny rule for
  "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/signond/socket" to suppress logging the denial.
