This is a slight API break, but should not cause many problems for
people. This makes parse_desktop_file() handle the type of keys
correctly, so that e.g. booleans are actually parsed as booleans. Also,
locale-sensitive entries are now looked up in a way that obeys the
current locale.

This replaces our own, hand-written parser of desktop files with the one
that GLib provides. No functional changes intended.

* Unescape strings when parsing desktop entries
* Fix unused value warning in menubar/utils.lua
* Move menubar.utils.unescape() tests
* Clean up menubar.utils.unescape() function
* Fix warning for using "_" in a non-local context
* Do not ignore trailing whitespace in menubar.utils.parse_list()
This now runs parse_desktop_file in a protected context so that a single
broken desktop file does not break the whole menubar.
Also, the error message that is produced when a Lua error occurs now
also includes the file name of the .desktop file which we attempted to
parse. This should help quite a lot in debugging.

LGI's async support was trying to yield inside a protected call. Lua 5.1
cannot do that. Work around this by reverting to the behaviour before
commit 50cfa6c: Only call the callback in a protected context.

The previous commit made this code handle invalid directories correctly.
However, it was still possible that we come across invalid file names
for which :get_path() returns nil and then we assumed this was a file
name.
Fix this by silently ignoring such files.

Before this commit, the code always used GFile instances, then used
get_path() for a recursive call and turned the path into a GFile
instance again. This is not only inefficient, but also causes issues
with directories with invalid utf8, because the get_path function
returns nil in this case.
Fix this by keeping things as a GFile all the time.

When awesome calls any Lua code, it does so with a protected call. This
means that any kind of Lua error should (there are exceptions) just
result in an error message being printed and everything continuing as
usual. When LGI calls Lua code, it uses a normal call. This means that
in an asynchronous context, that is, when there is no more call
generated by awesome's C code on the call stack, we must be careful,
since any error results in Awesome's unprotected error handler to be
called which restarts the WM.
menubar.utils.parse_dir() asynchronously parses a directory containing
.desktop files. This means that it is no longer in a protected call
context. Let's assume that the code itself is fine. However, the
callback that the caller provided for handling the results can be quite
arbitrary. Make sure that it is run in a protected context.

It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

When not including standard::type in the query for children of a file then Gio
may not look up this information. This might work on some file systems (e.g.
ext4), but other (apparently XFS) do not provide the needed file type
information (see man readdir on the d_type field). The result was that the
menubar contained no entries because no .desktop files were identified as
regular files and thus read.
Fix this by including standard::type in the queries.
Also, this commit makes the code use some pre-defined string constants from Gio
to make "double sure" that typos are caught.
Thanks to @Jajauma for doing the hard part on debugging this.

It was missing apps/entries from /usr/share/applications/kde4.
This patch also makes sure that entries are unique (by Exec/Name).
