GDM: change sleep-inactive-ac-type default value from 'suspend' to 'nothing' #1834

Just to give a further explanation why I think current GDM behaviour is no good: I think for example of my parents, 70 and 80 years old. Scenario is the following: They start computer, then, while it's booting, they decide to go make a tea, or to check washing machine, or whatever, and then, when they return after a short while, before they even had the chance to login, computer is already in suspend and they don't understand whats going on. |

I agree, I can change the default in https://github.com/getsolus/gnome-desktop-branding when we land GNOME 46. |

That would be much appreciated. |

On a related note I'd like to mention that regardless of suspend beeing turned off for GDM with |

@joebonrichie Please do this ASAP for 4.6? |

Summary
This is tightly related to (T10537) #193
With GDM as login manager, if you don't login right away after boot, after a certain amount of inactivity, computer suspends automatically, regardless of users energy/suspend settings. For GDM, these settings can be changed via gesettings run as gdm user:
su - gdm -s /bin/shdbus-launch --exit-with-session gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing'or via the config file in /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ as described in the above mentioned issue.
My personal stance is that auto-suspend-on-inactivity should be deactivated per default in GDM, at least if you are on ac.
I understand the value of auto-suspend if you run on battery, but given that there are users for who wakeup after suspend does not work properly, for instance graphics not initalizing correctly, I would rather deactivate this.
You can still trigger suspend manually in GDM, and I think suspend is also still triggered if you close lid.
Steps to reproduce
boot computer
on login-screen (GDM), don't login right away, wait like 6 min
Expected result
suspend should not be triggered
Actual result
suspend is triggered
