shell: Make all control-center plugins static

This makes loading faster, with less I/O, avoids unnecessary
code duplication (around 1k lines shaved), and ensures that
all the panels link and work appropriately.

By the same token, it will stop external panels from being
created, and loaded.

TODO:
- Find why the user accounts and region panels don't link
- Check for NM version better (missing nm_device_bond_get_slaves ())
- Add #ifdef around optional panels in gnome-control-center.c
  (requires configure changes)

export required symbols of CcEditableEntry

Hi,

the reason for the crash in Printers panel is that GtkBuildable couldn't find required symbols for CcEditableEntry so it couldn't create ui for Printers panel and therefore the init of Printers panel returned without proper initialization.
Attached patch fixes the problem for me.

Regards

Marek

Thanks for the patch Marek, the line was incorrectly removed from the Makefile.am by me...
