Matthew Barnes fe94770c2e Introduce a simple extension system for objects.
This introduces a simple means of extending Evolution objects.

Any GObject subclass wishing to be extensible need only call

   g_type_add_interface_static (type, E_TYPE_EXTENSIBLE, NULL);

when registering its GType, and then at some point during initialization
call e_extensible_load_extensions() to load extensions for that subclass.

Extensions are implemented by subclassing EExtension, setting the GType
being extended in EExtensionClass, and making sure its own GType gets
registered at startup.  This usually done while loading a GTypeModule.

e_extension_get_extensible() provides extensions access to the object
being extended.

/**
* SECTION: e-extensible
* @short_description: an interface for extending objects
* @include: e-util/e-extensible.h
*
* #EExtension objects can be tacked on to any #GObject instance that
* implements the #EExtensible interface. A #GObject type can be made
* extensible in two steps:
*
* 1. Add the #EExtensible interface when registering the #GType.
* There are no methods to implement.
*
* <informalexample>
* <programlisting>
* #include <e-util/e-extensible.h>
*
* G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE (
* ECustomWidget, e_custom_widget, GTK_TYPE_WIDGET,
* G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (E_TYPE_EXTENSIBLE, NULL))
* </programlisting>
* </informalexample>
*
* 2. Load extensions for the class at some point during #GObject
* initialization. Generally this should be done toward the end of
* the initialization code, so extensions get a fully initialized
* object to work with.
*
* <informalexample>
* <programlisting>
* static void
* e_custom_widget_init (ECustomWidget *widget)
* {
* Initialization code goes here...
*
* e_extensible_load_extensions (E_EXTENSIBLE (widget));
* }
* </programlisting>
* </informalexample>
