Cosimo Cecchi 678bcad92c appinfo: add g_app_info_set_as_last_used_for_type()
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.

/**
* SECTION:gappinfo
* @short_description: Application information and launch contexts
* @include: gio/gio.h
*
* #GAppInfo and #GAppLaunchContext are used for describing and launching
* applications installed on the system.
*
* As of GLib 2.20, URIs will always be converted to POSIX paths
* (using g_file_get_path()) when using g_app_info_launch() even if
* the application requested an URI and not a POSIX path. For example
* for an desktop-file based application with Exec key <literal>totem
* %%U</literal> and a single URI,
* <literal>sftp://foo/file.avi</literal>, then
* <literal>/home/user/.gvfs/sftp on foo/file.avi</literal> will be
* passed. This will only work if a set of suitable GIO extensions
* (such as gvfs 2.26 compiled with FUSE support), is available and
* operational; if this is not the case, the URI will be passed
* unmodified to the application. Some URIs, such as
* <literal>mailto:</literal>, of course cannot be mapped to a POSIX
* path (in gvfs there's no FUSE mount for it); such URIs will be
* passed unmodified to the application.
*
* Specifically for gvfs 2.26 and later, the POSIX URI will be mapped
* back to the GIO URI in the #GFile constructors (since gvfs
* implements the #GVfs extension point). As such, if the application
* needs to examine the URI, it needs to use g_file_get_uri() or
* similar on #GFile. In other words, an application cannot assume
* that the URI passed to e.g. g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() is
* equal to the result of g_file_get_uri(). The following snippet
* illustrates this:
*
* <programlisting>
* GFile *f;
* char *uri;
*
* file = g_file_new_for_commandline_arg (uri_from_commandline);
*
* uri = g_file_get_uri (file);
* strcmp (uri, uri_from_commandline) == 0; // FALSE
* g_free (uri);
*
* if (g_file_has_uri_scheme (file, "cdda"))
* {
* // do something special with uri
* }
* g_object_unref (file);
* </programlisting>
*
* This code will work when both <literal>cdda://sr0/Track
* 1.wav</literal> and <literal>/home/user/.gvfs/cdda on sr0/Track
* 1.wav</literal> is passed to the application. It should be noted
* that it's generally not safe for applications to rely on the format
* of a particular URIs. Different launcher applications (e.g. file
* managers) may have different ideas of what a given URI means.
