Kill off ShellAppInfo, move into ShellApp
This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section
on every category switch; it's all cached.
NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from
commit 7813c5b93f6bcde8c4beae286e82bfc472b2b656. It's fast enough
here without that.

Major ShellApp API cleanup, startup notification, window focus handling
This patch combines several high level changes which are conceptually
independent but in practice rather intertwined.
* Add a "state" property to ShellApp which reflects whether it's
stopped, starting, or started. This will allow us to later clean
up all the callers that are using ".get_windows().length > 0" as
a proxy for this property
* Replace shell_app_launch with shell_app_activate and shell_app_open_new_window
A lot of code was calling .launch, but it's signficantly clearer
if we call this ".open_new_window()", and later if we gain the ability
to call into an application's menu, we can implement this correctly rather
than trying to update all .launch callers.
* Because ShellApp now has a "starting" state, rebase panel.js on top of
this so that when we get a startup-notification sequence for an app
and transition it to starting, it becomes the focus app, and panel.js
cleanly just tracks the focus app, rather than bouncing between SN
sequences. This removes display of non-app startup sequences, which
I consider an acceptable action in light of the committed changes
to startup-notification and GTK+.

Kill off ShellAppInfo, move into ShellApp
This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section

NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from

information about an application, and methods on ShellAppMonitor
to retrieve "live" information like the window list.
AppIcon ended up being used as the "App" class which was painful
for various reasons; among them that we need to handle window
list changes, and some consumers weren't ready for that.
Clean things up a bit by introducing a new ShellApp class in C,
which currently wraps a ShellAppInfo.
AppIcon then is more like the display actor for a ShellApp. Notably,
the ".windows" property moves out of it. The altTab code which
won't handle dynamic changes instead is changed to maintain a
cached version.
ShellAppMonitor gains some more methods related to ShellApp now.
In the future, we might consider changing ShellApp to be a GInterface,
which could be implemented by ShellDesktopFileApp, ShellWindowApp.
Then we could axe ShellAppInfo from the "public" API and it would
return to being an internal loss mitigation layer for GMenu.

Create ShellApp, rebase things on it
Previously, we had ShellAppInfo, which contains fundamental
information about an application, and methods on ShellAppMonitor
to retrieve "live" information like the window list.
