Hide 'Indicator Application' from Startup Applications

[Jeremy Bicha]

Impact
======
Ubuntu still ships the Startup Applications app.

System autostart files like 'Indicator Application' should not show up in this app as we don't want users to unintentionally disable these services that easily.

Test Case
=========
Open Startup Applications and check for 'Indicator Application'

Regression Potential
====================
This should be safe. We've been setting NoDisplay=true for stuff in /etc/xdg/autostart/ for years.
