Title:
  [Orientation] Allow applications to specify the orientations supported

Status in QtMir:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Released
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently unity8 shell has a partial implementation of orientation
  support. It trusts applications to rotate their own contents, if they
  want to. The shell doesn't reposition the panel (at the top) though,
  so a landscape app still has a portrait panel on the side.

  For proper orientation support in the shell, shell needs to know if
  the application wants to rotate its contents or not. To animate
  correctly, we really need shell to be responsible for rotating the app
  surface, not the app itself.

  Therefore an application needs to tell shell what orientations it
  supports, so shell can respect its wishes.

  A hint in the desktop file may be sufficient.

  ---------------------------------------
  Desired UX

  As described above. Application should be able to tell the system its
  possible orientations so that the shell can handle the actual rotation
  accordingly.
