The xdg-desktop-portal notification specs v2 add a sound property for FdoNotification. We don't need to do anything if we gtk notifications are used since they are passed directly to the server.
Since [1] FDO notifications can transfer a `ActivateToken` to the client application, we can use this token to set the correct platform data to get wayland startup notification working correctly. GNOME Shell gained the feature already in [2], so this is the last piece missing to get rid of the annoying "<Application> is ready" notifications, when clicking on a notification. We can set the platform data only for actions that are activated via `org.freedesktop.Application`. Fixes: flatpak#406 [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/-/commit/b9a470004d [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3199/
Apps may not implement the `org.freedesktop.Application` interface so they won't get the platform data. We can do a little better and add the platform data to the `ActionInvoked` signal.
We couldn't use the private GNOME Shell interface because it was missing a couple of features we need in specific instances. The private GNOME Shell interface can now also emit the ActionInvoked signal and since version v2 it's mandatory that apps specify a desktop file id so we can do the switch.

This implements the new version of the notification portal. This depends on GNOME Shell changes.
