Florian Müllner 38c6293f4f data: Generate dash/app-grid defaults from text files
Defining default apps as serialized GVariants isn't very human-friendly,
which likely contributes to the fact that the lists are in parts horribly
outdated (Books! Cheese! Screenshot! gedit!).

Instead, generate the lists at build time from simple text files, which
should be much easier to update.
