Ryan Lortie ebf572cdd8 GAction: back out changes to property flags
41e5ba86a7 introduced some changes to the
property flags of GAction.  These changes were not a reflection of the
actual interface of GAction but were necessary due to GObject being
overly-sensitive to flag changes on property overrides.

Now that the GObject bug is fixed, we can restore the GAction flags to
their correct values.

/**
* SECTION:gaction
* @title: GAction
* @short_description: An action interface
*
* #GAction represents a single named action.
*
* The main interface to an action is that it can be activated with
* g_action_activate(). This results in the 'activate' signal being
* emitted. An activation has a #GVariant parameter (which may be
* %NULL). The correct type for the parameter is determined by a static
* parameter type (which is given at construction time).
*
* An action may optionally have a state, in which case the state may be
* set with g_action_change_state(). This call takes a #GVariant. The
* correct type for the state is determined by a static state type
* (which is given at construction time).
*
* The state may have a hint associated with it, specifying its valid
* range.
*
* #GAction is merely the interface to the concept of an action, as
* described above. Various implementations of actions exist, including
* #GSimpleAction and #GtkAction.
*
* In all cases, the implementing class is responsible for storing the
* name of the action, the parameter type, the enabled state, the
* optional state type and the state and emitting the appropriate
* signals when these change. The implementor responsible for filtering
* calls to g_action_activate() and g_action_change_state() for type
* safety and for the state being enabled.
*
* Probably the only useful thing to do with a #GAction is to put it
* inside of a #GSimpleActionGroup.
