Launcher - Add number notifier to Launcher icons

[John Lea]

Add number notifier to Launcher icons.

Description:

Applications can display one number on top of their launcher icon. This number can be used by a application to display, for example, the number of new emails or number of new messages.

The two linked branches have landed in their respective trunks. The last bit is to wire up the drawing logic in unity. Jason should be on this.
