[Bug 1477788] [NEW] Remove support for external panels

 

Public bug reported:

We have been carrying patches that reimplented support for external
panels in gnome-control-center, however this is only used by deja-dup
these days. Rather than continuing to maintain these patches, we are
dropping this support and will just use the desktop launcher to load the
standalone deja-dup-preferences.

This also drops the libgnome-control-center shared library, so deja-dup
will need to disable build of the g-c-c panel.
