It's too close to the release so we'll keep _set_menu() around, but
deprecate it, pointing to the new API. It will be removed (and the name
reused) before the 3.6.0 release.

If a section or submenu item has a "action-namespace" attribute, the
action names of the created GtkModelMenuItems will be prefixed with that
namespace. Namespaces can be cascaded.
There are no remaining users of the GActionMuxer in GtkApplicationWindow
because they've all been ported over to using the one on GtkWidget (via
GtkActionHelper, for the most part).
There are no remaining users of the GtkApplicationWindow API to create
GSimpleActionObserver or to get the GActionObservable (ie: muxer) for
the appwindow. Drop those APIs.
Drop the explicit passing of GActionGroup into the GtkMenu(Bar)
constructors and operate from the action context instead.
With GtkMenuItem implementing GtkActionable, this turns out to be pretty
easy (and most of the code can be removed from GtkModelMenuItem,
including the GActionObserver implementation).
Each GtkWindow with an associated GtkApplication should add this as
"app" to its action context. Each GtkApplicationWindow is its own
GActionGroup, and it should add itself to itself with the prefix "win".
There is now some duplication here because we have the new GActionMuxer
hierarchy managed by GtkWidget, but GtkApplicationWindow still carries
its own muxer. The redundancy will be removed in a future patch.
The current process of implementing GActionObserver is annoying and the
GSimpleActionObserver interface leaves a lot to be desired. Introduce a
new class, GtkActionHelper that gives you pretty much everything you'd
want to do as an implementor of GtkActionable.
The GtkActionHelper also features an "application" mode that is not
associated with a particular GtkWidget but rather with whatever widget
happens to be the active window of the given GtkApplication at a
particular point in time. This will be useful for the Mac OS menubar.
This allows adding a GActionGroup with a given name at an arbitrary
point in the widget tree.
This patch also adds an internal _get_action_muxer() API. Calling this
will create a GActionMuxer associated with the widget. The parent of
the muxer will be the muxer of the widget's conceptual parent. For
non-menus, that is the normal parent. For menus, it is the attach
widget.
In this way, we end up with a hierarchy of GActionMuxer that largely
reflects the hierarchy of GtkWidget, but only in places that the action
context has been requested. These muxers are the ones on which the
inserted actions groups are installed.
A following patch will add a user of this API.
If a muxer does not contain an action group with the given prefix, chain
up to the "parent" muxer to look for it.
This initial implementation is rather inefficient. It will lead to
changes on action groups associated with parent muxers being broadcast
to all children (regardless of if anybody there is interested or not).
An optimised version will follow soon.
