Bug description:
  Currently, the indicators are all non-multiarch for historical
  reasons.  We should enable multiarch indicators.

  1) Add a new variable to the libindicator .pc files called something like genericindicatordir which continues to be just /usr/lib
  2) Switch the indicatordir variable to a multiarch location (again -- we reverted away from that for bug 1126360)
  3) Have unity fallback to look in the genericindicatordir as well as the (now-) multiarch indicatordir for plugins
  4) As each indicator gets rebuilt, it will automatically migrate to multiarch, since "indicatordir" is now multiarch.  But old indicators will still work.
