patch to support remove xattr

using g_file_set_attribute it is possible to set/replace an extended attribute (xattr) implemented in glocalfileinfo.c.

there is no method in any interface to remove an attribute so I have extended 
g_file_set_attribute
that now accept only type G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING 
to support also G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID and in that case remove the extended attribute

I have test the patch on linux only.
