  Hard-coded X11 calls cause Unity 8 to fail to run on desktop

Bug description:
  The appmenu-qt5 code has hardcoded Xlib calls that cause Unity 8 (or
  any other Qt-based applicaiton) to die on startup when run on Mir
  instead of X11.

  This library extension should either not hardcode X11 (preferred) or
  check for the presence of a $DISPLAY  environment variable and avoid
  code paths that assume X11.

  The Unity 8 desktop currently has a hard-coded check for
  $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME and unsets it as a workaround.
