SRU: metacity 3.18.7

[Dmitry Shachnev]

I would like to update Xenial version of Metacity to a new upstream microrelease, 3.18.7.

We already have 3.18.5 in Xenial-updates. Upstream changelog since that is (with comments and links added by me):

Version 3.18.7
==============
- Fix titlebar repaint (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769049)
  Details of this issue are available in upstream bug report, I will only add that it happens with modesetting driver on Intel graphics.

- Fix a small memory leak in compositor

Version 3.18.6
==============
- Fix window resizing using titlebar (LP: #1596574)
  This was already cherry-picked in 1:3.18.5-0ubuntu0.1 package.

- Small HiDPI support improvements (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746420)

- Fix crash when removing a secondary monitor (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766156)
  Details of this issue are available in upstream bug report.

This package has been uploaded to ppa:ubuntu-gnome-flashback/unstable, the build logs are available from there too. A debdiff is available at http://people.ubuntu.com/~mitya57/tmp/metacity_3.18.7-0ubuntu0.1.debdiff.

Regression potential: the fixes are minimal so should not cause any regressions.

All fixes in this release are applied also in 3.20.3, which is available in Yakkety.
