Add API to get UID for users

[Robert Ancell]

[Impact]
The LightDM user list provided to greeters via liblightdm doesn't have a method to access the user ID. This requires a greeter that might need this information to do a second lookup to get it.

[Test Case]
1. Write a greeter that needs the user ID
Expected result:
Can do it.
Observed result:
Can't do it.

[Regression Potential]
Low, the information was already in liblightdm, we just now expose it. Tested with regression tests.

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that the bug description is missing information required for the SRU process. You can find full details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure but essentially this bug is missing some of the following: a statement of impact, a test case and details regarding the regression potential. Thanks in advance!
