Bug description:
  The MainView offered an api to lock the app to portrait. When
  shellRotation landed, that was replaced by entries in the .desktop
  file (X-Ubuntu-Supported-Orientations).

  However, still this isn't really enough for some use cases. For
  example an app might want to be locked to portrait while showing the
  main menu, but when displaying certain content enable allowing
  rotation.

  For that, there would be the need of an API, similar to the .desktop
  entries, but changeable at runtime.
