This commit replaces the old rudimentary log handler
by a shinier version of it. It also introduces the
debugging macros that I usually add to the apps,
including the CC_TRACE_MSG() macro for tracing.
CcObjectStorage is a cache for GObjects. It is meant to
store objects that are too expensive to be often created,
such as NMClient, GoaClient or D-Bus proxies.
CcObjectStorage has a very strict usage pattern. It is a
programming error to add an object that is already stored,
and so it is to retrieve an object that was not stored.
Stored objects are meant to be kept alive during the whole
lifetime of GNOME Settings, and CcObjectStorage takes a
reference on every stored object to achieve that.
If objects are destroyed while they are cached, it means
we have a reference mismanagement somewhere. In this sense,
CcObjectStorage will act Sam Sheepdog taking care of sneaky
wolves trying to steal their sheep-references.
Next patches will make various panels and objects around
GNOME Settings adopt this new API, and make sure they always
disconnect when destroyed.
Recent versions of Gettext are able to translate several formats
that are used in GNOME applications. This patch migrates from
Intltool to Gettext by using meson's i18n features.

The bluetooh, network and wacom panels should not be optional
on linux, except on s390 systems which lack USB support. It
should also not be built at all on other systems.
This patch makes these panels mandatory on linux.
