Subject: [PATCH] Don't retry the _pa ipc at a Linux login screen (#16390)

At a greeter the cm is not started, so the `_pa` socket never exists and
the audio service fails to connect and logs an error once per second for
as long as a client is connected. Wait in `pa_impl::run` while
`is_prelogin()` is true; audio starts once a user logs in.

Fixes #16012
