Actions extensions in File Managers - Draft 0.11

[PCMan]

1. If Profiles are named 'Conditions' instead, its purpose will be more clear.
2. I'd suggest use *.menu instead of *.desktop for menu definition
files. This can ease the implementation and also better for
maintainace since you can know it's a menu without examing its
content.
3. In this way defining a menu with several items and submenus
requires many *.desktop files. This makes things a little bit
complicated and also this can create a headache for maintainers of
those actions. I'll try to propose a more consolidated and simpler
file format later.
