Unstable release in 1.9 series.

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.9.1

    * Correctly set $XDG_SESSION_CLASS for greeters. This was regressed in
1.7.5
      for ConsoleKit and was never passed to logind. logind/ConsoleKit treat
      greeter sessions without this set as user sessions. This causes
greeters
      to show the lightdm user able to be logged in with.
    * Set $USER when running the session-setup-script. This is a regression
from
      1.7.5.
    * Fix notification of sessions being logged out. This is a regression
from
      1.7.5 and caused greeters to show sessions logged in after they had
been
      logged out.
    * Refactor liblightdm user scanning to be simpler and more reliable.
This
      fixes bugs where some properties wouldn't be updated when they
changed in
      accounts service.
    * Add support for a "display-stopped-script" field in lightdm.conf. The
      "display-stopped-script" field allows us to run a script right after
      stopping the display server.
    * Allow dm-tool to run outside of a session if it doesn't need to be.
    * Set $MIR_SERVER_NAME to assign a name to launched sessions. Also use a
      "greeter-" prefix for greeter sessions for the benefit of
      unity-system-compositor.
