Adding "Actions" to desktop-entry files

[Christian Hammond]

Actions used to be part of the desktop entry spec, but I guess nobody really
made use of them and they were removed. I had a patch to add Action support
in GNOME at one point but they felt they would just make things more
complicated. I still think there's some benefit to including them if we can
find compelling use cases.
