Bug description:
[Impact]
If LightDM receives an XDMCP Request packet with no addresses then it will
attempt to access a negative index into an array and crash. This only occurs if
the XDMCP server is enabled.
[Test Case]
1. Enable XDMCP in lightdm.conf:
[XDMCPServer]
enabled=true
2. Start LightDM
3. Send an XDMCP Request without an empty addresses field (valid XDMCP
servers do not send this).
Expected result:
The request is ignored.
Observed result:
LightDM crashes.
