Update libunity to conform to latest GIO VAPI breakage

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

Due to incompatible changes in the gio-2.0.vapi files libunity no longer builds in unity-io.vala abd unity-appinfo-manager.vala is included in the build. You'll see errors ala:

/home/smspillaz/Source/compiz/compiz-glib/unity/libunity/unity-io.vala:55.48-55.48: error: Argument 2: Cannot convert from `int' to `GLib.ReallocFunc?'
    var output = new MemoryOutputStream (null, 0, realloc, null);
                                               ^
/home/smspillaz/Source/compiz/compiz-glib/unity/libunity/unity-io.vala:59.43-59.48: error: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `void*' to `uint8[]'
        numread = yield input.read_async (buffer, buffer_lenght,
                                          ^^^^^^
/home/smspillaz/Source/compiz/compiz-glib/unity/libunity/unity-io.vala:65.27-65.32: error: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `void*' to `uint8[]'
        output.write_all (buffer, numread, out numwritten, null);

The two components are need by the place daemons, so are in need of fixing.

Before merging the attach branch I'd like us to dig the old AppInfoManager unit tests out of the bzr history as currently I have no way to test this branch.

[Neil J. Patel (njpatel)]

Moving to me temporarily as it's blocked on me enabling the unit tests

[Neil J. Patel (njpatel)]

Added support for vala tests on linked branch.

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen (kamstrup)]

I merged Neil's branch, lp:~unity-team/unity/enable-vala-tests, into my own lp:~kamstrup/unity/gio-vapi-break-fixes. It still doesn't build cleanly and the tests needs to be updated to reflect the new api.

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen (kamstrup)]

lp:~kamstrup/unity/gio-vapi-break-fixes was merged into lp:unity just before Christmas
