[Bug 1207824] [NEW] custom session DBUS

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Public bug reported:

previously ubiquity started "private" dbus session bus as root user,
then launch ubiquity on it and then the tests would source / set that
bus as environment variable before gaining the application proxy.

there seems to be now a way to pass custom dbus address, and that
functionality seems to interfere with our hacks.

please either help to port lp:ubiquity autopilot tests to this new way,
or adjust autopilot to honour environment variables and not trump them.

example fail:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/autopilot_ubiquity-
saucy/20/ARCH=i386,TESTNAME=ubiquity,label=rabisu/testReport/ubiquity.tests.test_default/DefaultInstallTests/test_default_install/
