8def72a266 common: Introduce CcHostname
This object allows for panels to interact with systemd-hostnamed over
DBus using a simple API that abstracts the GVariant and DBus specifics
involved.

083e7bdae6 object-storage: Introduce CcObjectStorage
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.
