Bug Description

[Impact]
When LightDM sends out an XDMCP Willing/Unwilling message it leaves the hostname blank. This field is used in clients

[Test Case]
1. Start LightDM with the XDMCP server enabled
2. Start an XDMCP client that supports showing available XDMCP servers (e.g. kdmchooser)

Expected result:
An appropriate label is used for the LightDM XDMCP server

Observed result:
No label is shown

[Regression potential]
Low. This field is now populated by the system hostname by default or a value specified in LightDM configuration.
