Add dependency to `gcr`

Matteo Gamboz requested to merge gamboz/network-manager-applet:gamboz-main-patch-11468 into main

I'd like to suggest a new dependency to gcr because I had some difficulties in making nm communicate with my secret service.

I had errors such as

NetworkManager: <error> vpn-connection: Failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were available for this request
NetworkManager: <warn>  vpn: secrets: failed to request VPN secrets #3: User canceled the secrets request.

I have keepassxc configured to serve as secret service provider. It wasn't being used by nm before I installed gcr.

I found out because at some point I restarted the applet with nohup nm-applet and found nm-openconnect-auth-dialog: error while loading shared libraries: libgcr-ui-3.so.1 in nohup.out, which led me to gcr.

(also reported here https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/776427/250077 )

I'm not really sure if network-manager-applet is the most correct place for this. If you think it's not, please feel free to reject this MR 🙂
