Adds support for org.
freedesktopkde.StatusNotifier spec.A small support program will advertise sn support, sn (and appindicator and ayatana) users will connect, this program will spawn an XAppStatusIcon to add to an applet.
Ref:
linuxmint/cinnamon#9176
Behavior -
Watcher is dbus-launched by any applet that uses XAppStatusIconMonitor. This is a singleton and lasts only as long as any monitors remain running. For instance, if you remove cinnamon's xapp status applet, the watcher will terminate.
Watcher allows any StatusNotifier-types to register, and creates an XAppStatusIcon for each, which are then shown in the applet.
The watcher acts as a StatusNotifierWatcher, and the xapp is essentially a StatusNotifierHost (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/)
