Public bug reported:

having a lot of apps open my unity8-dash gets contantly killed along the
apps if a certain OOM threshold is reached ... this appears like a
system crash of the UI (even though it is desired killing) from a user
perspective ...

checking the oom_score_adj values of all running apps i see that the
dash has the same high value as all other open foreground apps:

...
11	7960	oxide-renderer
11	7963	oxide-renderer
11	7988	oxide-renderer	
300	6170	oxide-renderer
802	12514	unity8-dash
802	6088	webbrowser-app
802	6873	webapp-containe
802	7425	webapp-containe
802	7910	webapp-containe

(the full log can be found at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8526308/ ) given
that the dash is one part of our core UI it should be excluded from app
lifecycle management (keeping the same oom_score of 10 as unity8 does)
so that only actual apps get killed on high memory pressure.
