====== Thunarx API clean-up ======

Since the API soname had to bumped to avoid conflicts with GTK3 symbols, it's an appropriate opportunity to remove deprecated Widgets from the Thunar Extension Framework (thunarx), specifically [[https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAction.html|GtkAction]].

Considering the effort it would that take replace all GtkAction/GtkUiManager related code with [[https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GAction|GAction]]/GtkBuilder/[[https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/GMenu|GMenu]], and realising this is [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK/Menus#Comments|not a straightforward task]], we decided to keep these deprecated widget internally and deal with them by the time of the GTK4 port. Based on [[https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/tree/master/libnemo-extension|Nemo's approach]], the **ThunarxMenuItem** and **ThunarxMenu** classes were designed as drop-in replacements for GtkAction yielded by providers, hence updating plugins should be an easy task.
==== Provider interfaces affected ====
  * ThunarxMenuProvider - The interface to extensions that provide additional menu items
  * ThunarxPreferencesProvider - The interface to extensions that provide preferences
