Add a class method to CcPanel to get a GOptionGroup which will be added
to the main commandline parser. This gives panels the chance to have
commandline "--flags" in addition to the already available parameters.
This changes changes the way parameters are passed to panels: the first
entry in the GVariant array is always the a{sv} dictionary of
commandline flags, followed by the remaining free-form arguments.

By using a GVariant of type "av" we can potentially pass more structured
data to panels, which will become relevant with the ability to invoke
them by GAction-based DBus-activation introduced in the following patch.

Show applications using the message tray, and
allow configuring in what way the shell presents them.
The set of applications shown include all applications that ever
showed a notification in gnome-shell and all applications that have
a boolean X-GNOME-UsesNotifications key set to true in their desktop file.

Now that we don't allow or load external panels, using libgnome-menu is just
overengineering. We can get the same results with less code by keeping a static
list of function pointers.
This reduces the number of places one needs to patch to add a new panel.
Also, this way we avoid registering all types at startup, and if we want
we can switch to load panel desktop files in a separate thread.
