Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The session indicator always uses gnome-session to end the session
  (log out), but gnome-session is not guaranteed to be available under,
  for example, a Unity8 desktop preview session.  It should use Upstart
  where available.

  [Test Case]

  Install unity8-desktop-session and choose to log in to that session
  from the LightDM login screen.  You should be able to select "log out"
  from the session-indicator indicator and have it bring you back to the
  login screen.

  [Regression Potential]

  In the worst case this change could affect log out operations from
  regular Unity 7 sessions and potentially other sessions that use the
  session indicator.  In such a case, the log out operation would fail
  necessitating a reboot or manual session kill.

  [Other Info]
   
  This change has been in production use on later releases of Ubuntu (14.10 and later) without problems.

  Later version of the Unity 8 desktop session do not exit to the
  LightDM login screen but instead restart Unity 8 and present the Unity
  8 login screen.  This is a bug in Unity 8 and not related to
  indicator-session.
