Overview of changes in lightdm 1.19.2

    * Add support for greeters running inside sessions. This is enabled by
      setting X-LightDM-Allow-Greeter inside the session .desktop file.
      The session can then use liblightdm to connect one greeter to the
      daemon. The communication is done using a socket
      (/var/run/lightdm/<user>/greeter-socket) that is accessible to any
      process run by that user. Consider controlling access to this socket
      using a MAC system such as AppArmor.
    * Report errors for all liblightdm methods. This will require existing
      greeters to update their API usage. The ABI is unchanged.
    * Handle EAGAIN correctly when daemons communicate with the daemon.
    * Drop support for mir-container sessions - no-one ever used these.
