Enable themes to provide a prefered button layout option

Created attachment 157166 [details] [review] enables themes to provide a prefered button layout option: X-GNOME-Metatheme/ButtonLayout This patch enables themes to provide a prefered button layout option: X-GNOME-Metatheme/ButtonLayout. When selecting the theme, the ButtonLayout provided (if any) is applied, otherwise, menu:maximize,minimize,close is choosed as a default. We still provide a button for the user to revert the change if the user changed the previous theme button layout. The idea is to be as less intrusive as possible but still enables theme (as most of them are broken when you change the button order) to select its own button order. I can provide a git-format patch if needed.

Mass move to gnome-tweak-tool, for theme handling bugs.
I'm closing this bug since it's a gconf patch and gnome-tweak-tool hasn't used gconf in years. The next release of gnome-tweak-tool has a toggle switch to switch the layout from left to right and back which I think will solve the root problem here for most users. If not, feel free to open a new bug and/or submit a patch if you want.
