Bug description:
  There is a fix to unity8 coming up that will soon be hiding the OA
  splash screen. Hiding the splash screen is great for 50% of the
  situations that it pops up, but there is a point where its actually
  nice to see that something is happening.

  With scopes, after the OnlineAccountsClient::Setup class returns from
  exec(), the shell then calls signon_auth_session_process_async() to
  request an access token. Thats when seeing the splash screen is useful
  as the user can see that something is still happening. With that slash
  screen hidden, the focus will be returned to the scope without any
  indication that the sign on process is still busy.

  Could we have the OnlineAccountsClient::Setup::exec() method execute
  the auth session itself before returning / sending the “finished”
  signal? That way you'll stay on the setup screen until the oauth token
  has been granted, hence returning to the scope when all is ready to
  go.
