Title: Improve control over which file manager manages the desktop.

This adds a new show-desktop-icons gsettings key to Nemo's preferences, along with adding control over the traditional key that Nautilus uses.

Nautilus has an autostart condition that checks for schema org.gnome.desktop.background, key show-desktop-icons being true. If we move Nemo's check to a different key, we can then reliably control which file manager autostarts and provides the desktop.

If Nautilus is not installed, the 'prevent Nautilus' option is not displayed, to prevent confusion.
