Matthias Clasen a975d62071 Rename gtk-update-icon-cache and gtk-builder-convert back
In bug 635207, it was pointed out that it is a bad idea to
rename these tools purely in the name of parallel-installability,
since it forces dependencies to make a choice between running
gtk-update-icon-cache and gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0 (or both ?!).

So, we rename these utilities back to their un-suffixed names
and rely on distributors to resolve the conflict between GTK+ 2.x
and GTK+ 3.0 packages, which can be done e.g. by dropping the
utilities from the gtk3 packages and add a gtk3 -> gtk2 dependency.

<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>gtk-update-icon-cache</command> creates mmap()able cache
files for icon themes.
</para>
<para>
It expects to be given the path to a icon theme directory containing an
<filename>index.theme</filename>, e.g. <filename>/usr/share/icons/hicolor</filename>,
and writes a <filename>icon-theme.cache</filename> containing cached
information about the icons in the directory tree below the given directory.
</para>
<para>
GTK+ can use the cache files created by <command>gtk-update-icon-cache</command>
to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the application
starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them to be mmap()ed
shared between multiple applications, the overall memory consumption is
reduced as well.
