Add a separator between the menus and gnome-app-install

Bug Description

This issues is listed on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TODO

Furthermore I would suggest to rename the menu item of gnome-app-install from "Add Applications..." to "Add/Remove...". It is quite an inconsistency to click on "Add Applications..." to actually remove an application.

But "Add/Remove Applications..." is too long - espcially in some translations eg. in German it would be "Anwendungen hinzufügen/entfernen...". So I would suggest to only use the menu item "Add/Remove...":

* The separator already makes clear to the user, that this is no normal application.

* Secondly it is placed in the menu "applications" so the purpose of "add" and "remove" should be clear.

*Finally the tooltip gives a hint: "Install and remove applications".

Regards,

Sebastian

This should be a better solution. Other files get merged before the separator:

   <Include>
    <Filename>gnome-app-install.desktop</Filename>
   </Include>

   <!-- Separator between menus and gnome-app-install -->
   <Layout>
     <Merge type="menus"/>
     <Merge type="files"/>
     <Separator/>
     <Filename>gnome-app-install.desktop</Filename>
   </Layout>

I've just noticed while copying the changelog entry that's I've forgotten to mention that the patch was from you, sorry for that. Thank you for working on it
