Add Introspect API

Olivier Fourdan requested to merge ofourdan/gnome-shell:introspect-getwindows into master

Add a D-Bus API that allows the API user to introspect the application state of the shell. Currently the only exposed information is list of running applications and which one is active (i.e. has focus).

The GetWindows method gives access to the list of windows for each application with some of their properties, so utilities such as dogtail can pick the window of their choice to interfere with using the provided window id.
