Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Not all system locale variables are passed to sessions.

  [Test Case]
  1. Edit /etc/locale.conf and set LC_PAPER to a particular value
  2. Start LightDM
  3. Log into a session

  Expected result:
  LC_PAPER is set to the value in /etc/locale.conf

  Observed result:
  LC_PAPER is not set.

  [Regression potential]
  Low. We just added to an existing list of LC_* variables that are passed through to sessions.
