Description

## Problem

If you change your account password, I'm not sure what happens. But we should handle it!

## Proposal

Throw an infobar linking to System Settings to update your account. There is probably also work to be done in the Online Accounts plug to handle this flow, so we can file relevant issues as we better understand the flow.

## Prior Art

If your Google credentials are out of date on an Android phone, you get a system notification saying something like your account "needs attention," and then it brings you to the System Settings area to re-authenticate. Rather than doing the notification at the system level, though, we could do it contextually in affected apps and direct you to the Online Accounts plug.
