The new extension system introduces tags, similar to categories from
legacy add-ons, and permissions. A hardcoded list is supported for
each, available in the docs:
- https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/advanced/extensions/tags.html
- https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/extensions/schema/
This change allows extraction of these new metadata to the translation
files.
In order to disambiguate the new messages, tags use the new "Script"
translation context. Permissions are lower case, so there is a low
risk of collision, and they use the default context.
While the tags are defined per-platform, with extensions.blender.org
being the only one available currently, they are extracted as a single
list.

* Drop the repository - let's combine tags in a single list (per type)
to avoid duplications in the future.
* Give a more sensitive name for tthe property, to avoid tags.tags.
Support freedesktop file association on Linux/Unix via the command line
arguments: `--register{-allusers}` `--unregister{-allusers}` as well
registration actions from the user preferences.
Once registered, the "Blender" application is available from launchers
and `*.blend` files are assoisated with the blender binary used for
registration.
The following operations are performed:
- Setup the desktop file.
- Setup the file association & make it default.
- Copy the icon.
- Setup the thumbnailer (`--register-allusers` only).
Notes:
- Registering/unregistering for all users manipulates files under
`/usr/local` and requires running Blender as root.
From the command line this can be done using `sudo`, e.g.
`sudo ./blender --register-allusers`.
From the GUI, the `pkexec` command is used.
- Recent versions of GNOME execute the thumbnailer in a restricted
environment (`bwrap`) requiring `blender-thumbnailer` to be copied
into `/usr/local/bin` (synlinks don't work).
So thumbnailing copies the binary rather than linking and only works
when registering for all users.
