  Don't override IM variables

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Currently these variable settings are hardcoded in gnome-session and
  gnome-settings-daemon:

  QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
  XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

  That way the use of alternative IM frameworks, for instance fcitx, is
  prevented. The variables should only be set if they are empty, so the
  values set by im-config are honored.

  [Test Case]

  * Install Ubuntu GNOME
  * Install both the gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon proposed updates
  * Install fcitx
  * Set fcitx as the input method:
    im-config -n fcitx
  * Relogin
  * Check the IM-related environment variables:
    env | grep -E '_IM|XMOD'

  After the proposed uploads of gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon,
  those variables are consistently (unlike before) set to "fcitx".

  [Regression Potential]

  Low. im-config sets "ibus" by default in Ubuntu GNOME anyway. This
  change prevents an inconsistent input method configuration for users
  who have actively chosen some other IM framework.

  The gnome-settings-daemon change was included upstream in 3.19.3 and
  the gnome-session change was included upstream in 3.21.90.
