Port schemas from gnome-settings-daemon-common to com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon

[Khurshid Alam]

Unity-settings-daemon still depends on gnome-settings-daemon schemas. It is undesired as it requires to modify code in all unity related components when upstream drops some gsettings schemas.

gnome-settings-daemon > 3.33 drops/modify media-keys schemas in an undesired way that it can't easily be reverted. Keyboard & mouse schemas are modified and unity-settings-daemon is crashing. So it's better unity uses it's own schema as suggested by Laney. We will of-course keep using settings migration (org.gnome.settings-daemon-> org.gnome.desktop) wherever possible.

Since this is a huge task it can be achieved gradually.

1) Ubuntu 19.10

- Port media keys to use com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon

- u-s-d will still use org.gnome.settings-daemon name in dbus

- u-s-d will still respects activation toggle in org.gnome.settings-daemon

- everything else remains the same

2) Ubuntu 20.04

- Port rest of plugins to use com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon

- u-s-d will still use org.gnome.settings-daemon name in dbus

- Activation toggle key will now use com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon

- Everything else will remain the same
