There was a meeting today with the Mir team and some stakeholders and I
believe the outcome was that mir-libs will continue to be the only
supported source for Mir libraries.

So we should probably do the following:

- Drop Mir libraries from the ubuntu-app-platform snap.

- Update snapcraft-desktop-helpers to stop including Mir libraries in
consuming snaps and to point at mir-libs's libraries if they are being
used.

- Update all Mir-consuming snaps to plug into mir-libs and to include
the path in their LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  And to remove any accidentally
included duplicate libraries in their own snap.

I'm working on #2 there (snapcraft-desktop-helpers).  I'll add a task
here.  I'll also work on converting the unity8 snap to use mir-libs.

Title:
  mirclient gets out of sync

Status in Ubuntu App Platform:
  In Progress
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Because we directly include mir client libraries in the platform (due
  to a dependency of qtubuntu), when the mir interface is revised we get
  out of sync. The mir team publishes a mir-libs snap that tracks these
  changes and exposes a mir-libs content interface. We should
  investigate if that can be used transparently by apps connected to the
  platform.

  as of this report they are out of sync.
