Bug description:
  Here's the global bug for FD passing from unity-system-compositor to
  unity8 rather than having a socket file.

  The general flow would be:
  *) LightDM gets a client socket from USC
  *) LightDM sends that fd to logind as a part of the session description (instead of X server number)
  *) unity8 pulls the fd from logind on startup

  This then needs an apparmour profile so that dbus denies access to the
  system-compositor fd from everything that's not unity.
