That all said, it appears that we're just doing basic socket stuff. So
it's quite feasible to throw away the offending boost code and that
would also resolve this bug.

Error reporting of asio exceptions from AsioDMConnection could be

Bug description:
At least in this one case.
Josh Arenson and I were debugging a problem with a greeter / lightdm /
unity-system-compositor. It turned out to be because lightdm was
passing unity-system-compositor "--from-dm-fd=0" which resulted in an
asio exception when it tried to use fd 0.
But the exception looked like:
"""
ERROR: Throw location unknown (consider using BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION)
Dynamic exception type:
boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::system::system_error>
>
std::exception::what: assign: Operation not permitted
"""
It took us a surprising amount of effort to track down where this was
actually failing (which was the
usc::AsioDMConnection::AsioDMConnection constructor in
src/asio_dm_connection.cpp).
I don't have a suggested fix, just a request to make similar failure-
hunts easier. Or at the least, this specific error case more obvious.
