Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Users can't upgrade to next Ubuntu release running the upgrade GUI under Wayland.
  The backport is needed to let Artful users to upgrade to Bionic without applying workarounds manually.

  [Test Case (for update-manager)]

  1. Install 17.10 and all the updates available
  2. Start a wayland session (Ubuntu in GDM)
  3. open a terminal and run the following command:
    $ update-manager -cd
  4. When you're prompted to upgrade to 18.04, accept and proceed.
    Expected result on fixed version: Upgrade starts.
    Result on unfixed version: The GUI crashes.

  [Test Case (for ubuntu-release-upgrader)]

  1. Install 17.10 and all the updates available
  2. Start a wayland session (Ubuntu in GDM)
  3. Check that root is not listed in xhost output:
    $  xhost
    access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
    SI:localuser:rbalint
  4. If root is present, remove it:
    $ xhost -si:localuser:root
    localuser:root being removed from access control list
    $  xhost
    access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
    SI:localuser:rbalint 
  4. open a terminal and run one of the following commands (alternatives):
    $ do-release-upgrade --frontend=DistUpgradeViewGtk3 -d
    $ /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk -d
  5. When you're prompted to upgrade to 18.04, accept and proceed.
     Expected result on fixed version: Upgrade starts.
     Result on unfixed version: The GUI crashes.

  [Test Case (for regressions)]

  Repeat the test cases running under X.org (Ubuntu on Xorg in GDM) and check that:
  a. Upgrade still works
  b. xhost output is not modified

  [Regression Potential]

  The upgrade GUI may crash in a different way when applying the workaround fails.
  Do-release-upgrade may fail to detect development or versions to upgrade to.
  The workaround "xhost +si:localuser:root" may be added under Xorg as well

  [Original Bug Text]

  Test Case:
  1. Install 17.10 and all the updates available
  2. Start a wayland session (Ubuntu in GDM)
  3. open a terminal and run the following command:
    $ update-manager -cd
  4. When you're prompted to upgrade to 18.04, accept and proceed.

  OR run this command in a terminal:
    $ pkexec /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade \
          --frontend=DistUpgradeViewGtk3 -d

  (note that it's expected to fail under wayland cf bug 1713313)

  Expected result
  Upgrade starts

  Actual result
  This crash.
