add LegacyDirs and /usr/local/share/applications to gs-applications.menu

DefaultAppDirs doesn't include /usr/local/share/applications.
some applications still use LegacyDirs.

Can you be more specific about what applications / what Linux distributions need these directories?

/usr/local/share/applications - google-chrome (official rpm)
I add Other two just in case of possible applications that still store .desktop files there.
AppDir will not modify menu structure. It is just search path for .desktop files.

Review of attachment 171316 [details] [review]:

OK, with the /usr/local/share/applications addition. The "LegacyDirs" additions I don't like. (you aren't treating these as LegacyDirs, you are just grabbing some desktop files from random directories)
