Public bug reported:

Testing the messaging-app state saving ability that we've been adding from this MR:
https://code.launchpad.net/~tiagosh/messaging-app/state-saver2/+merge/250996

deb can be found here:
http://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/generic-mediumtests-builder-vivid-armhf/1669/artifact/work/output/*zip*/output.zip

The problem is, when the app is launched from the content-hub, the
StateSaver still tries to restore it's previously saved state, but it
should not and this causes problems. It should clear the state, the same
way it does when launched via url-dispatcher. According to Ken, there
are content-hub signals that StateSaver will need to listen to in order
to know when the app is being launched by content-hub.

To reproucde:
1) install the messaging-app deb from above
2) open messaging-app, swipe from bottom to create a new message
3) type some names in the recipient field, and type some message in the send field
4) do "kill -2 <pidOfMessagingApp>" to kill the messaging-app and save it's state
5) open camera-app and go to the photo roll
6) press "Share" from toolbar and select messaging-app from the list

Expected results:
- messaging-app should be displayed with a new page showing the photo as an attachment, and nothing else

Actual results:
- messaging-app shows the restored state from when it was last run (the values entered in Step 3 above)

** Affects: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu)
