The code in menubar.icon_theme naively implements the algorithm from the
base dir specification. This is a problem: On this system,
/usr/share/icons/{Adwaita,hicolor}/index.theme list 91, respectively 649
subdirectories. Since we check for three file extensions (png, svg,
xpm), this means that a failing icon lookup for the Adwaita theme checks
for (91+649)*3 = 2220 files (in practice it might be a bit better since
the directories have specific meanings, but still). That's insane.
Since we only use this code for looking up category icons anyway, just
deprecate this mess. Category icons are now looked up in the same way
that icons for individual applications are looked up.
Since menubar.init does not require("menubar.icon_theme"), this means
that menubar.icon_theme is no longer actually loaded. That's bad.

The freedesktop specifications let desktop files be stored in
different directories indicated by the environment variables
XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS.
Only use the default value for these variables if the variables are
not defined.
This is important for systmes like NixOS which does not follow the LFS
and installs files differently.
The $XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable may not necessarily end in a
slash, so insert it when generating the list of all menu dirs to make
sure the directory can be found.
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

It was missing apps/entries from /usr/share/applications/kde4.
This patch also makes sure that entries are unique (by Exec/Name).
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/711.
The way of icon path lookup for `menubar` is enhanced so that it is
based on a theme-oriented way as described in the specification:
Icon Theme Specification, Ver. 0.12
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
To accomplish this:
* Add the two new files `icon_theme.lua` and `index_theme.lua`.
The former implements an icon lookup algorithm suggested in the URL
above. The latter implements a helper object to parse the cache file
`index.theme` of which data is used by the former.
* Modify `menu_gen.lua` to use the new algorithm.
- The implementation of `lookup_category_icons` is changed
accordingly.
- The values of the field `all_categories.icon_name` are changed file
names to icon names, i.e., file extensions which are used to
indicate image file formats are removed.
* Add the new file `icon_theme_spec.lua` for a unit test for checking
if `icon_theme.lua` together with `index_theme.lua` works as
expected.
