#isLinkedLoginAvailable can incorrectly answer false

GbsSessionManager>>isLinkedLoginAvailable answers false when the GCI
shared library has not yet been loaded by the client Smalltalk
process, even if a linked login will be possible once the library is
loaded.

Workaround

Two possible workarounds:
1. Do an RPC login to force the library to load, then send
  #isLinkedLoginAvailable.
2. Attempt a linked login and handle the error that occurs if a
   linked login is in fact not available.
