Appindicator support

[Aleksanaa]

If anyone's interested, keep track of this issue: AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator#22

This is also a good time to let me know if there's any API needed to support this 🙂

FYI, I've opened this as #431. General discussion and opinions can happen here, while any specific implementation stuff can go on the issue 🙂

@andyholmes you had mentioned you don't like AppIndicator… how do you intend Valent to be used? a full gtk window minimised at all times? or is there a flag to run it in the background as a daemon?

i personally find it distracting to have a window open when i'm only looking at the notifications from the app in question

[andyholmes]

I just close the window, Valent will always run in the background unless something like the desktop prevents it from running in the background.
