The lightweight inheritance mechanism used for GtkShortcutTrigger is not
going to be usable by bindings, because boxed types cannot have derived
types.
We could use GTypeInstance and derive everything from that, like
GParamSpec, but in the end shortcuts are not really a performance
critical paths, unlike CSS values or render nodes.
API remains the same, but activation is now done via a
shortcutcontroller.
The code uses a controller with global scope so that the
shortcuts are managed with all the other global shortcuts.

This has several benefits:
- Less code in GtkApplication. The accels handling is something
self-contained, and GtkApplication now delegates the work.
- For the accels functions, there is now a distinction between static
functions and functions in the gtkapplicationaccelsprivate.h header,
which makes the code easier to understand, because we have a good
overview just by reading the header.
- The struct _GtkApplicationPrivate is now easier to find instead of
being in the middle of the file.
