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.
