Bug description:
[Impact]
xserver-allow-tcp=true option no longer works with X.org 1.17.
[Test Case]
1. Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and set [SeatDefaults]
xserver-allow-tcp=true
2. Start LightDM
3. Attempt to connect to the X server using TCP
Expected result:
Able to connect
Observed result:
Unable to connect
[Regression potential]
Low. X.org changed their default behaviour from listen by default to listen
if "-listen tcp" is passed as a command line flag. This is just the equivalent
change in LightDM. Since this is a new flag to X.org if a user was to use
another X server there is a risk it would not understand that flag. However it
seems unlikely since X.org is the only actively developed X server.
