Bug description:
Add 'launching' state to launcher icons
Description:
1. As soon as a user clicks on a app in the Dash Application Lens,
the Launcher should use the 'startup notification protocol' to
*instantly* place a icon for the application in the launcher (in the
'launching' state). As soon as the app has finished launching, the
Launcher icon should switch to the 'running' state.
2. As soon as a user clicks on a app in the Launcher that is not
running, the Launcher icon should instantaneously switch to the
'launching' state. As soon as the app has finished launching, the
Launcher icon should instantly switch to the 'running' state.
The following art assets will be attached to this bug:
1. Add 'launching' placeholder Launcher icon to handle the case where
we know an app has launched but we don't have it's icon. *important*
- this icon should only be used when we know an app has been launched
but we don't know its icon. If we can get the application's icon
quickly we should use this correct icon instead.

(note the outer glow shown in this same design is not the correct
cursor select state, for the correct cursor select state see
https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/11_04/desktop_and_netbook/launcher/select/
)
Notes:
- we flash the backlight of the icon during launch
- as soon as we have startup notification, we create an item in the
launcher, in grayscale, and start flashing its backlight
- as soon as we know the desktop file and hence icon, we transition to
the icon backlight from grayscale to an appropriate colouring based on the
icon
Finally we need a instant "flash" on click. See bug #893140 for a
full description of this instant feedback issue.
