All get_app_from_*() helpers are transfer full, but
get_app_from_gapplication_id() was directly returning the result
of lookup_app(), which is transfer none.

The hash table must keep a copy of the IDs, because the GAppInfos
are unreferenced (and thus freed) at the end of the function.
This was possibly not a problem if the GAppInfos were referencing
the memory-mapped cache, but it becomes one for regularly parsed
desktop files in ~/.local.

get_secrets_keyring_cb() contained an optimization (copied over from
nm-applet) that avoided a D-Bus round-trip when NetworkManager sent
secrets hints that were not satisified by the user. This code did
not properly handle empty hints though, and proceeded to always
request new secrets whenever empty hints were sent. Remove this
code entirely since the complexity is not worth it (per Jasper).
Second, get_secrets_keyring_cb() was mishandling VPN secrets which
were marked as "always ask". Because the VPN secrets are not GObject
properties because they cannot be pre-defined, they are passed in
a hash table that is a GObject property marked 'secret'. Unfortunately,
that means that the shell agent cannot determine their secret flags.
But since the VPN plugin auth dialogs have much better information
about what's required than the shell agent does, always ask the VPN
auth dialogs to handle the secrets requests after grabbing any that
already exist from the keyring. This is also what nm-applet does.

Filtering out "non-interesting" windows beforehand as we currently do
means that we may get properties that should be based on all windows,
like the last time the application was used, wrong.
Just track all windows and filter out non-interesting windows manually
in the one place we actually care about the difference.

Sorting actors by the distance in the axis of movement first and against
the axis otherwise means that if we have a situation like:
A F
B
where "F" is the focused actor, and it slightly overlaps with B vertically,
then we'll choose "B" to go left, rather than "A", which is most likely
what the user intended.
This is especially apparent in the overview where slight window size
differences mean we might not get an exact grid shape.

Rather than scanning all apps for searching, use Ryan's new desktop
file index and the glib support APIs for app searching instead of our
own system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711631
While unfortunate that we still have to scan all apps with get_all(),
support for this feature will be short-lived, so hopefully we can drop
it in the future as new apps adapt to the desktop file / app ID
recommendations.
For now, simply scan all desktop IDs.

Systemd-for-the-user-session would also do this, but that's a deeply
invasive change that I may not actually get to this cycle. This
change is tiny and non-invasive, but provides an important benefit:
You can actually reliably tell *which* applications are logging which
messages (assuming they're launched by the shell).
This actually complements a recent change in DBus:
See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68559
which does a similar thing for bus activated apps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711626
Rather than create all ShellApps up-front, create them lazily. We really
had no reason to do this before as we were scanning GMenu to get all the
apps, but doing this can remove a need for get_all, which is slow and
memory-hungry.
We want to transition to a system in the future where we have a desktop
file cache. As we no longer differentiate categories or similar, it no
longer makes sense to have app visibility based on categories. Thus,
we no longer need to use gnome-menus to list all apps. The potential
issue here is reloading all desktop files when new files are created,
but this can be dealt with individually.
The "All Applications" view still uses gnome-menus.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698486
Since appDisplay.js makes its own GMenu tree, it's not necessary
anymore. This does mean that searches will show apps in NoDisplay
categories, but that's an obscure enough edge case not to matter.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698486
This does remove support for legacy prefixed app infos with
subdirs, but since we want to remove support for the menu spec,
let's not even bother.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698486
It's a broken method when it comes to giving us a useful GDesktopAppInfo,
and it's hard to fix libgmenu properly, so simply recreate the app info
using the desktop file ID that libgmenu has.
We want to move away from gnome-menus eventually, so the simple
utility method isn't really worth keeping around. Reimplement it
in the one place that uses it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698486
In cases where we have an array of 0 elements or similar, the
data returned may be NULL. Since g_file_replace_contents will
assert in this case, simply check for this and delete the file
instead.
