In commit 9bd22dc0, I introduced an API to load an arbitrary
.desktop file, not necessarily from the menu path. It turns
out this function was broken because it created ShellApp instances
that were *different* from ones that were cached normally.
As far as I can tell, we didn't initially use it. Then later
Util.spawnDesktop was created which used this function.
Remove this broken function and all callers; if we're loading
.desktop files from *outside* the menu path, we can look at
readding.
This patch also kills off Util.spawnDesktop in favor of callers
talking to ShellAppSystem directly, now that the latter reports
errors.

Add the machinery to cancel the notification when a new playing a
new one (wrapping ca_context_cancel), then use it when scrolling
the status icon.
Not doing it for the slider because it causes noise, either with the
keyboard, with mouse drag or with mouse wheel.

Add Util.spawn, Util.spawnCommandLine, and Util.spawnDesktop for
spawning a command/argv/.desktop file in the background, automatically
handling errors via MessageTray.SystemNotificationSource(), and
Util.trySpawn, Util.trySpawnCommandLine, and Utils.trySpawnDesktop
that don't do automatic error handling (but do at least clean up the
error message in the exception a bit).
Update various other bits of code around the shell to use the new
methods.

Reimplement UI without any indication of percentage or mutedness,
and whitout switches. The only interaction point is slider, but
it still supports mute changing for applications that track it,
and will react appropriately to external changes.

_volumeChanged should not update the icon if the sink is muted.
Fixes the case when shell is started with a muted sink (_mutedChanged
is called before _volumeChanged).

Add volume control indicator which uses API from gnome-volume-control
to interact with PulseAudio and shows both input and output volumes.
Also adds a small wrapper around libcanberra in ShellGlobal, used by the
volume indicator to provide auditive feedback.
