Subject: [PATCH] Core: make Gtk app uniqueness optional

Add optional parameter to MauiGtkApplication constructor that
determines if application can have several instances running
at the same time. Default is false (no uniqueness check),
which requires no DBus connections, unlike previous default
(uniqueness is enforced).
