Port from GnomeVFS to GIO

[Nicola Soranzo]

GnomeVFS has been deprecated since GNOME 2.22 (Mar 2008):

All applications should be ported to use GIO:

Moreover, GnomeVFS uses HAL, which is also deprecated in favor of udev. Removing dependencies on GnomeVFS is necessary to remove HAL from the system, a goal shared by most distributions:

After checking out `git clone ssh://<email address hidden>:inkscape/inkscape.git` I found:

    Remove deprecated GNOME VFS

I'd say this ticket is solved (in git master, not yet in the stable 0.92.x series)?
