Unstable release in 1.8 series.
This release contains a quite major refactoring so please look out for any
regressions. All the existing regression tests pass and a number of new
ones were added for things that had never been checked.
Overview of changes in lightdm 1.7.5
* Quit Plymouth correctly when using the unity seat type
* Release the VT when the system compositor fails to start
* Load sessions and greeters from /usr/share/lightdm/sessions and
/usr/share/lightdm/greeters. The existing directories are checked
if the sessions are not in these directories.
* Refactor the Display class so that it merges with the Seat class
* Support running the greeter and session in different display servers
instead of re-using the same one during a login.
* Add more regression tests
* Documentation fixes
