.desktop-file integration

The dmenu-like completion from #4 should also incorporate .desktop-files

It might make sense to re-use the code of i3-dmenu-desktop for that. I am willing to accept patches that make it integrate better with shellex.

Hm, while reusing code is certainly sensible (especially when looking at the complexity of i3-dmenu-desktop), this would make this feature of shellex only usable with i3 (or at least some of the tools i3 provides). I'm not sure if I'm okay with that right now.

As discussed offline, you could use git submodules to have the i3 repository inside shellex and just ship i3-dmenu-desktop.

I hacked an addition of .desktop files here: https://github.com/pseyfert/shellex-desktop
