Use Raven to add the applet to the panel.

TODO

• Applet background needs to use panel colour for inbuilt-theme
• Code cleanup - copyright statements, unused code, change boilerplate budgie-applet
• Correct debian/copyright
• check all the build dependencies are actually needed

Enhancements

• For the applet settings add capability to change indicator order
• Appindicator spacing is too wide when not using built-in-theme
• Applet background needs to respect raven stylise regions option
• Applet background needs to use panel colour for user-defined theme
• When used with the system-tray applet hide the network applet icon rather than permanently hiding
• Change from using GtkMenu and GtkMenuItem to GtkButtonBox/GtkButton and therefore allow GtkPopover when button click
