switch from GDM to LightDM

Browse Source 
GDM's greeter requires gnome-session-x11@gnome-login.target (from
gnome-shell), which isn't installed on i3-only setups. This caused
gnome-session to crash-loop, leaving a blank screen on boot.

LightDM works without gnome-shell and is a better fit for i3.
