Add IndicatorNg.

  
IndicatorNg is an indicator object that reads an indicator service file and watches the bus for a corresponding service to appear. It turns the menus and actions exported by the service into an indicator entry. I think this is a good solution for the transition period in which we support both styles of indicators. (It means we don't need to copy templates around.)

An indicator service file must have an ".indicator" extension and contents simlilar to this:

  [Indicator Service]
  Name=indicator-test
  BusName=com.canonical.indicator.test
  ObjectPath=/com/canonical/indicator/test

For unity-panel-service, these files will be installed somewhere. The indicator-loader in this branch accepts a path to such a file as the first command line argument (instead of the .so file).

This can be tested with the example indicator in lp:~larsu/libunity/add-indicator (examples/indicator.vala).

Approved by Charles Kerr, Ted Gould.
