This is a stable update in the 1.10 series that contains new features
backported from 1.12 and small bug fixes. All the new features are off by
default and this release should have no behaviour changes from 1.10.1
unless these features are enabled.

Overview of changes in lightdm 1.10.2

    * Use logind to provide the list of seats to use. This is disabled
unless
      logind-load-seats (in [LightDM] section) is set to true. This is the
      default behaviour in lightdm 1.12.
    * Fix crash if running script hooks with non-X display servers.
    * Add a seat option 'allow-user-switching' that can disable all user
      switching for that seat.
    * Make PAM services configurable.
    * Add liblightdm method to get user UID.
    * Add a new session type 'mir-container' that allows the session to run
      inside a custom system compositor.
    * Add --show-config option that shows combined configuration.
    * Use XDG_SESSION_ID from PAM instead of using the logind D-Bus API.
    * Make socket writing code used between greeter and daemon more robust
to
      errors.
    * Correct section name in default users.conf file.
    * Fix tests failing with Qt 5.3 due to it checking getuid/geteuid which
we are faking.
    * Fix small memory leaks.
    * Test improvements
