Bug description:
  [Impact]
  If LightDM receives an XDMCP Request packet with no addresses then it will attempt to access a negative index into an array and crash. This only occurs if the XDMCP server is enabled.

  [Test Case]
  1. Enable XDMCP in lightdm.conf:
  [XDMCPServer]
  enabled=true
  2. Start LightDM
  3. Send an XDMCP Request without an empty addresses field (valid XDMCP servers do not send this).

  Expected result:
  The request is ignored.

  Observed result:
  LightDM crashes.
