A convenience API that took the likely parameters and initialized a
global singleton would be nice.

gtk_application_init("org.foo.Bar", argc, argv);

To do special/extra stuff you could either do:

gtk_application_init(...)
application = gtk_application_get()

or you could create the application yourself if you wanted to have two
of them or something.

There might also be some more elaborate convenience functions, such as
init_with_builder() or something, not sure what is right, but at least
one that did all "recommended stuff for a typical app"

Anyway it'd be nice to avoid a bunch of boilerplate that every app has
to type in.

As mentioned on the bug I kinda like the convenience API to allow a
callback which handles both first launch and subsequent activations.
