The OpenURI portal has a separate method to handle local
files now. Use it.
At the same time, split out the openuri helpers into separate
files, and generate code for the OpenURI portal.

Otherwise, we might end up returning TRUE from
g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri but with a set error parameter. This
will lead to confusing results depending on how the caller checks for
errors. Checking error != NULL indicats the call failed but checking the
return value indicates that it succeeded.
We currently assume that the OpenURI portal should be used
unconditionally when running inside a flatpak sandbox. While
the portal is what we usually want, there are exceptions:
Yelp is now included in the GNOME runtime to allow displaying
help without exporting the user documentation, and the sandboxed
app itself may register a scheme handler.
To account for those cases transparently, always try the normal
code path first and only fall back to calling the portal when
that fails.

Calling the D-Bus method for the OpenURI portal "protects" the logic from
not ever having the remote method running in case the xdg-desktop-portal
process is not yet running and the caller quits quickly after the call.
This should not be a problem as the method returns immediately (regardless
of the user making a selection), but making it synchronous would prevent
situations where the OpenURI method would never be called because of D-Bus
dropping the message after the caller dies, without explicitly waiting for
a reply.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
xdg-desktop-portal support is only usable on *NIX platforms, so don't build
them on non-*NIX platforms. Also clean up gio/Makefile.am a bit to split out
the listings for the platform-specific sources from the platform-neutral
sources, and assemble them for the final list of sources required for libgio.

We need to patch in the portal support at a high enough
level that GAppInfo is not involved - a sandboxed app may
not be able to see any applications, so it can only launch
the defaults.
Note that even though the API is called launch_default...,
the portal may still offer the user to choose the application
to launch.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
gnome-session needs to know the startup id that was given to
a started app; this was not available via GAppLaunchContext.
This commit adds a ::launched signal to get this information.
At the same time, turn the launch_failed vfunc into a signal
as well.

GFile doesn't handle some "real" URIs, so check if there's a default
handler for the URI scheme first, and only use g_file_new_for_uri()
and g_file_query_default_handler() if not. Eg, this fixes the case of
opening http URIs with "%2F" in the path.

This essentially adds an accessor for the MimeType field in desktop files,
to retrieve the list of all mime types supported by an application.
The interface though is part of GAppInfo, so it could be implemented
in the future by other backends.

Add functions for manipulating the environment under which a
GAppLaunchContext will launch its children, to avoid thread-related
bugs with using setenv() directly.
FIXME: win32 side isn't implemented yet

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.
