Currently we only have a big launcher manager that deals with displaying apps but also with logic etc.
Since the long term plan is to also show workspaces etc. in the dock I would like to split things into an appsystem which deals with the logic behind the apps, and a toolbar or whatever (currently the launchermanager) which takes generic items (which the app launchers, and eventually Workspaces will be a subclass of) and only cares about where they are displayed and reordering etc.
This PR is the first in a series by taking the dbus calls to gala, checking which apps are running, the unity client, etc. from the launchermanager into its own appsystem class.
This will also help to keep a cleaner structure if more things are added e.g. #99 (which I'd like to work on next)
This was just made even more relevant by #337 :)
