Provide public access to the GDBusConnect and object path that
GApplication is using. Prevents others from having to guess these
things for themselves based on the application ID.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671249
For a number of reasons it might be useful to register the object paths
associated with a non-unique application so that the application can at
least field requests to its unique D-Bus name.

This interfaceifies the extra functions that were on GDBusActionGroup
for dealing with platform data.
The two main benefits of doing this:
- no longer have to do a silly song and dance in GApplication to avoid
calling GDBusActionGroup API from non-dbus-aware code
- the interface can be reused by the action group exporter to avoid
ugly and unbindable hook callbacks

Now that we're a GActionMap the story about propagating signals from our
(now-constant) internal action group is vastly simplified. If someone
calls g_application_set_action_group() then signals will stop working --
but this function is deprecated and they never worked before, so no big
loss there.

Clean up the docs for GApplication and related classes.
I'm no longer writing documentation for the structure type of classes
and interfaces. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665926
for discussin on the correct way forward on this point.
Also: stop putting gtk-doc comments in installed headers.
Allow the menu to be changed after registration. This is quite useful
for setting up the menus from the ::startup handler instead of having to
do it before registration because it lets you skip the work if you're
not the primary instance.
Rename g_application_set_menu to g_application_set_app_menu and make a
couple of fixups. Clarify the documentation about exactly what this
menu is meant to be.
Add g_application_set_menubar and document that as well.
To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().

Call g_settings_sync() just before g_applcation_run() returns. This is
really the correct thing to do in every case that you're using GSettings
and it prevents every single application from having to do it for
themselves.
Closes bug #647419.
Add a flag to essentially short-circuit g_application_register(). The
application makes no attempt to acquire the bus name or check for
existing instances with that name. The application is never considered
as being 'remote' and all requests are handled locally.
Closes#646985.
