Florian Müllner f42d9df3e0 fileUtils: Add helper for loading D-Bus XML from resource
Commit dbf993300a moved all inline D-Bus interface descriptions to template
strings so we can stop escaping line breaks.

Unfortunately that unveiled a grave bug in xgettext, which currently cannot
handle files that contain both backtick and slash characters - as a result,
translations from affected files have started to disappear as translators
run xgettext/msgmerge.

Instead of reverting the change and getting the crusty escaping back, we
will take this as an opportunity to stop inlining the XML altogether and
load it from a resource instead.

To facilitate that, add a small helper method that loads a D-Bus interface
description from a dedicated resource bundle.

Gnome-shell OSK layouts are extracted from CLDR layout definitions:
https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/keyboards/layouts/index.html

Updating these involves several steps:

1) Downloading and unzipping the tarball found at:
   http://www.unicode.org/Public/cldr/latest/keyboards.zip

   This file contains XML files describing the keyboard layouts.

2) Cloning the cldr2json script at:
   git://repo.or.cz/cldr2json.git

   It will be used to convert the XML files into JSON that can be
   directly consumed by gnome-shell.

3) Running the script to produce the files:
   ./cldr2json <input-directory> <output-directory>

   We shall usually use the "android" folder, since that's most
   complete, and similar to our UI and target sizes. And the target
   directory must be data/osk-layouts in this repository.

4) Modify gnome-shell-osk-layouts.gresource.xml to include the files

5) Do git add on the updated/new files, and git commit.


Or alternatively:

1) Run update-osk-layouts.sh

2) Do git add and git commit
