Expand the functionality of g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env() to
include the possibility of passing strings containing ':' characters (as
some apps, such as gnome-session, are directly passing the value of
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP). At the same time, deprecate it, since now we get
the list from the environment variable for ourselves.
Modify the checks in g_desktop_app_info_get_show_in() to deal with
multiple items listed in XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. For example, if we find
that we have
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME-Classic:GNOME
and a desktop file contains:
OnlyShowIn=GNOME
then we will show this file because of the fallback to GNOME. If the
file _also_ contains the line:
NotShowIn=GNOME-Classic
Then we will not show it, because GNOME-Classic comes before GNOME in
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.

The first time this function is called we load all of the keyfiles in
the directory, ignoring the 'Hidden' ones and build an index out of the
interesting fields using g_str_tokenize_and_fold().
We do prefix matching on the tokens to find relevent desktop files.
Right now this is implemented as a hashtable that we iterate over,
checking prefixes on each token. This could possibly be sped up by
creating an array, but it's already pretty fast...

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').

Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.

gnome-session still uses EggDesktopFile, since GDesktopAppInfo is
missing a handful of APIs that are needed to implement the
autostart spec. This patch adds the minimum that is required.

With search gaining traction as being the preferred way to locate
applications, the existing .desktop file fields meant for browsing
often produce insufficient results.
gnome-control-center introduced a custom X-GNOME-Keywords field for
that purpose, which we plan to support in gnome-shell as well.

A new GDesktopAppInfo specific function which provides more control
over launched processes. Intended basically only for use in GNOME
Shell, where we want:
*) To directly know the GPid for each launched program, without
having to listen to a DBus signal emitted in our own process
*) Possibly control over the process environment; for example,
we may want to call setsid() or redirect file descriptors.
And in the future:
*) To avoid recursively calling ourself via DBus, when a later
patch causes g_app_info_launch() to indirect via the shell.

Removing an extension point is an API and ABI break. In particular, it
causes (older) gvfs versions to fail loading with a linkage error from
ld which in turn makes the desktop unusable.
So this reinstate the extension point and API provided by it, but
deprecates and does not use it. So no functionality is changed.
This reverts parts of commit 9b262f1c5f.
