By encoding the path to the appinfo-test binary in the .desktop files,
we can avoid a chdir() call in the tests, which was a bit ugly.

Add an app-launching function which allows standard file descriptors
to be passed to the child process.
This will be used by gnome-shell to pass systemd journal descriptors
as stdout/stderr. gnome-shell's child_setup function can then be
eliminated, which will enable use of the posix_spawn optimized
gspawn codepath for desktop app launching.
g_desktop_app_info_load_from_keyfile() refuses to load .desktop files
where the executable doesn't exist. Therefore whether or not the .desktop
file added in commit 148995544 is actually considered during tests depends
on /usr/bin/flatpak being installed. This isn't a safe assumption to make,
so use /bin/sh to test filtering of "prefix" commands.

The executable name can be a useful bit of information to match on in
searches where it differs from the name (for example because the latter
is localised), but will produce surprising results where the real appli-
cation is executed by a shared binary (for example interpretors like
gjs or python, or sandboxes like flatpak).
Address this by adding a blacklist of binary names that are ignored
in search.

Custom desktop file fields may be translated, but there is currently
no non-hacky way to look up the localized value; fill get gap with
a small wrapper around g_key_file_get_locale_string().

Need to fix up some of the tests a little, because the
test binary will not necessarily be run from the current
build sub-directory, and the build directory structure
might not always be a mirror of the source directory
structure, so pass location of glib-mkenums and
glib-compile-scheme and such directly.
This is *significantly* more pleasant to use from C (while handling
errors and memory cleanup).
While we're here, change some ugly, leaky code in
tests/desktop-app-info.c to use it, in addition to a test case
in tests/file.c.

We currently assume that setting an application as the default will take
it to the front of the list of supported applications for a given type,
but this is not necessarily true.
Check instead that the application is actually set as default.

Add the basename from the first component of the Exec line to the list of
strings to search for via g_desktop_app_info_search().
We treat Exec as a fairly strong match -- just below the visible name.
Add a testcase to make sure everything is working OK.

For some time, the desktop file specification has supported "additional
application actions". This is intended to allow for additional methods
of starting an app, such as a mail client having a "Compose New Message"
action that brings up the compose window instead of the folder list.
This patch adds support for this with a relatively minimal API.
In the case that the application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable,
desktop actions are translated into GActions that have been added to the
application with g_action_map_add_action(). This more or less closes
the loop on being able to activate an application with an action
invocation (instead of 'activate').

This should be the last users that need to be ported.
For some of the oldschool non-gtester-ified tests, we call g_test_init()
from main() because it is necessary in order to use
g_test_build_filename().
Not all systems have /usr/bin/true. Some have it in /bin/true.
Instead of trying to guess a hardcoded path to find it, let
g_app_info_create_from_commandline() internally search PATH
to find the program.

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

This commit also changes (maintaining compatibility) the way
user-specified default applications are stored (as in, those for which
g_app_info_set_as_default_for_type() has been called.
We now store the default application for a content type in a new group
in the mimeapps.list keyfile, and "Added Associations" tracks only the
applications that have been added by the user, following a
most-recently-used first order.
This is useful in GtkAppChooser-like widgets to pre-select the last used
application when constructing a widget.
