Meson extracts them by itself and add them as dependencies for the target.
It means one less location to keep track of files, and a lot less boilerplate
around the meson files
The `X-GNOME-Bugzilla-*` entries were for use by bug-buddy, a GNOME 2
technology that's been gone for over a decade. These entries are
obsolete and can be removed from all desktop files.
The `X-GNOME-Settings-Panel` entry is also obsolete as far as I can
tell and only these panels had it in their desktop file: notifications,
sharing, sound and user-accounts. These entries can also be removed.
After removing the `X-GNOME-Bugzilla-*` entries, the desktop files have
no more variables in them. The meson `configure_file` step is therefor
pointless—there are no variables to configure. As such the
`*.desktop.in.in` files are renamed to `*.desktop.in` to reflect this
and `meson.build` files are modified to remove `configure_file` step.

In https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696766 it was decided to
build with _PPD_DEPRECATED defined, to suppress the warnings about the
deprecation of the CUPS PPD API, since there was no full replacement
yet. Unfortunately this didn't make it intact through the port to Meson,
so fix it here.
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.
