Matthew Barnes 906f93a130 Demonstrate extending the EExtension API.
Introduce e_extensible_list_extensions(), which provides extensible
objects access to their own extensions, or a subset of them.

Convert EShellBackend to an abstract EExtension subtype.  EShell will
load its extensions with e_extensible_load_extensions(), and then obtain
a list of EShellBackend extensions as follows:

    shell_backends = e_extensible_list_extensions (
            E_EXTENSIBLE (shell), E_TYPE_SHELL_BACKEND);

Because EShellBackend is abstract, its GType is skipped while traversing
the GType hierarchy to find EShell extensions.
