usbmuxd is not compatible with libusbmuxd2 in ubuntu 14.10

[Xu Zhen]

In Ubuntu 14.10, the version of libusbmuxd2 is 1.0.9, but usbmuxd is still 1.0.8.
usbmuxd 1.0.8 does not support the new commands used in libusbmuxd2 1.0.9
Any program which use libusbmuxd2 will simply crash.

I complied the latest source from https://github.com/libimobiledevice/usbmuxd, everything works.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I believe that usbmuxd being out of date is causing other issues too:

Ubuntu 14.10 is EOL since July 2015. New versions of Ubuntu have new versions of usbmuxd and libusbmuxd
