general: Allow running in separate instance

When hacking on Nautilus, it is very inconvenient to have to close any
running instance before running the built version. This commit enables
running three different instances by changing the application ID.
Beside the default “profile” is one crafted for stable flatpak
releases and one for development. The stable flatpak profile adds an
identifying mark to the about dialog to aid collecting information in
bug reports. The development profile is that plus additional styling to
help visually identify the development instance. It also will be used
when generating Flatpak bundles with the help of CI.

Generally, the implementation is slightly hacky to allow all the
different workflows, spanning from regular installations to GNOME
Builder flatpak builds, as each comes with its own quirks.
