GDM has supported sessions registering with it for a few years now so
it can know when to shut down the greeter. Having the GNOME Classic
session declare that it will register itself allows GDM to avoid
executing a fallback codepath.
This has been supported with the regular GNOME session for a while,
and this session was likely forgotten about when it was added there.
