Title:
  ubuntu-touch-session needs to be able to start even if the homedir is
  filled to 100%

Bug description:
  When the ~/phablet tree has media files added to it by the user, it is
  possible for the storage space to be filled, and consequently for the
  device not to boot.

  From the OEM project bug:

  "After further investigation this problem was caused by the following:

   1) Files were pushed to ~phablet/xxxx
   2) The files filled the home partition completely
   3) Upon a restart of the phone the upstart session job /usr/share/upstart/sessions/dbus.conf is attempted
   4) Because the partition is full, the final line of the pre-start stanza fails as $HOME/.cache/upstart/dbus-session cannot be created
   5) As there is no running dbus session instance unity8 fails to start

  Clearing space on the home partition allows unity8 to start again."

  Posted here, since following discussion in #ubuntu-touch it has the
  same underlying cause as bug #1270248, also reported on this package.

  Raised as a separate bug, because this was caused by user action,
  rather than simply the system failing to do log housekeeping.
