There is no good reason to not allow this.

While the versioning of the spec itself is in a somewhat sad
state, it is more realistic to say we are validating according
to 1.1 than to 1.0.

This was recently removed from the desktop entry spec,

This is a recent addition to the desktop entry spec.

The man page was not mentioning --no-hints, and was referring
to version 1.0 of the desktop entry spec. This commit fixes
both issues.

If a desktop file is registering the same mime type more than once
(useless but okay), the desktop file was listed more than once for that
mime type in mimeinfo.cache.

It's easy to avoid, so make sure we only have a desktop file once per
mime type.

We try to validate as much as we can the content of AutostartCondition.
This means:

 - for GNOME3, we check that if-session/unless-session is used with an
   additional argument
 - for GSettings, we check that two arguments are passed

Additionally, we now add more validation for the GNOME condition (one
argument needs to be passed).

AudioVideo is required if Audio or Video is present, and that would be
two main categories. But in that case, this is okay. So we need to
ignore the case of two main categories when one is required by the
other.

In some messages, we don't display the key value, but one item of the
value (which is a list). Make this clearer.

Now that related categories are not required (in general, see below for
an exception), we don't need to error out when they're missing. Still,
it's nice to suggest them with a hint.

Note that there are still cases where another category is required
(AudioVideo for Audio, for instance).

The requirement to have at least one main category was removed for the
specification a few months ago. It's still useful to tell people with a
hint about the risk of not including one, though.

This is useful to suggest improvements to the user.

We still only check for an older version of glib, and requiring 2.28
just for g_slist_free_full() can be silly. So if we don't have 2.28,
just use the equivalent trivial code.

One small fix worth mentioning is that we don't consider seeing an Exec
key in an action group as having seen an Exec key in the main group.

Destkop Actions were recently reintroduced in the specification, with
full specification of semantics and allowed keys.

Previously the validator would allow and ignore any desktop action
description, now it requires them to be compliant.
