We need to create a muxer eagerly for every
widget that has class actions, since those
are otherwise missed in the action lookup
on the muxer side. But otherwise, there is
no reason to create parent muxers aggressively,
as long as we update the parent muxers on
root/unroot.
This reduces the number of muxers we create
in widget-factory from 210 to around 50.
Previously, we would not look any further for
an action once we found a match for the prefix,
defining inheritance by groups. Change this to
inheritance for individual actions, since we
are moving towards individual actions as the
main ingredient in GTKs action support.
The only cases of stateful actions we've seen
so far have been boolean properties, and we
don't really want to add much state handling
API, so lets just go with property actions
for now.
Adapt the only user in GtkText.
along with a new 'type-format' setting that allows
to choose the output format for the "Type" column.
The options implemented for this setting are:
'mime' : Output from g_content_type_get_mime_type().
'description' : Output from g_content_type_get_description().
'category' : It uses the corresponding generic icon
of the mime type to group by categories (aka basic types).
This produces a more compact output than previous options,
and allows for type families to be grouped together, so eg.
after sorting by "Type" column, jpeg and png images will
be placed together, or the various types of archiver files
will also be grouped together.
This format was copied from and currently used by Nautilus
list view, so we also improve consistency with Nautilus.
Bugzilla entry for Nautilus implementation is:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683722
The list of type families or categories can be checked on:
https://developer.gnome.org/icon-naming-spec/#mimetypes
This 'category' format is set as default.
Issue #362
Some users expect that the Overlay will automatically request enough
size for its overlay children as well as its main child. It doesn't,
because it's just a GtkBin. Add a short paragraph pointing that out.

The only glancing mention of this we had was that GtkButton mentioned it
in passing when discussing how `button` could get contextual classes,
and even that's not relevant in master anymore... so drop it from there.
Port GtkColorChooserWidget to use widget class actions.
Note that this also changes the names of
the GtkColorChooserWidget actions away from a generic
"context" prefix.
Port GtkLinkButton to use widget class actions.
Note that this also changes the names of
the GtkLinkButton actions away from a generic
"context" prefix.
Add a facility to register and install actions
at class init time. The intended use for these
actions is for
a) context and other model-based menus
b) key bindings
Most of these actions are going to be stateless,
so add separate apis for the simple and stateful
cases.
We avoid creating an action group for these by
teaching the action muxer about these actions.
The action muxer also maintains the enabled
state for these actions.
