[mutter/wip/carlosg/launch-context: 1/2] x11: Add method to launch applications, using SnLauncher

[Carlos Garnacho <carlosg src gnome org>]

commit 43e2c8fc0b063b0ad2ce9f12d399bb00649ad3bc

    x11: Add method to launch applications, using SnLauncher
    
    The method spawns a launch request that will get caught by the
    SnMonitor we have in place to handle X11 startup notification
    messages.
