Jonas Dreßler 3a8b714e72 clutter: Use G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY for actor and stage properties
Turns out GObject implicitly notifies all properties by default as soon
as a property setter is called, no matter if the property actually
changed or not. One can opt-out of this behavior by setting the
G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY flag.

So since almost all our properties get notified explicitely (well,
except ClutterActors deprecated show-on-set-parent property), set this
flag for all properties of ClutterActor and ClutterStage now. This
significantly reduces the number of notify:: signals emitted on
ClutterActors, because in gnome-shell javascript we usually set GObject
properties directly, not by going through the extra setter method.

More cleanups can be done in the future, since this flag is suitable for
almost every property in Clutter and even Mutter.

This fixes a crash where we'd hit a newly introduced assertion in
on_device_actor_reactive_changed() of ClutterStage because
notify::reactive got emitted multiple times.
