Impact
======
This bugfix enabled gnome-settings-daemon's multimedia key support to work according to what the API has said for years (in addition to the way it's been commonly used).

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?h=gnome-3-24&id=42f75ed4cdc86498d6e02e511a1314b8916bd4aa

The SRU justification is that newer versions of apps will be switching to the D-Bus name in the API documentation. If someone installs the newer version from a PPA or a Flatpak or Snap, the multimedia key support should continue working.

Test Case
=========
?

Regression Potential
====================
This should just make gnome(unity)-settings-daemon own both the commonly used D-Bus name and the one actually defined in the API docs.
