  Unity.Activation interface is incompatible with PyGI

Bug description:
  Following the discussion on ayatana-dev: https://lists.launchpad.net
  /ayatana-dev/msg00148.html

  The Unity.Activation interface is incompatible with PyGI because of
  the use of callbacks:

  UnityActivationStatus  activate (const gchar* uri, GAsyncReadyCallback
  _callback_,  gpointer _user_data_);

  Resulting in warnings and corrupt arguments when passed to python:

  ** (process:23642): WARNING **: You are trying to use an API which
  returns a callback.Callback returns can not be supported. Returning
  None instead.

  The underlying problem seems to be that the interface is defined as
  async in the Vala code. As suggested by Mikkel in the mailing list,
  the method should be converted into a normal synchronous one, i.e.:

  UnityActivationStatus  activate (const gchar *uri);
