Make parallel installable with Tracker 2.x

Carlos Garnacho requested to merge wip/carlosg/parallel-installable into master

This MR takes the "full split" approach to making Tracker 3.x available side to side with older users of Tracker 2.x. In this MR:

  • Versioned names are used for a few things:
    • $datadir stuff is installed in share/tracker-3
    • Developer documentation
    • gettext domains
  • The CLI tool is installed as tracker3
  • DBus interfaces/names all bump to org.freedesktop.Tracker3

The end result: Tracker master can get installed alongside an older Tracker version, and without disrupting its users
