GHOST: comment on use of libunity for the taskbar in X11

Browse Source 
While the DBUS API's libunity uses are still in wide use,
libunity.so it's self isn't. Note that we should use DBUS directly.

/* NOTE(@ideasman42): 2023-04-07, see: !106608.
* Even though Ubuntu's Unity (desktop-environment)
* is no longer in widespread use, DBUS API's defined by: `libunity.so`
* are still supported by some KDE/GNOME docks (as close as it gets to a standard it seems).
* So when `libunity.so` is available, it can still be used to update a progress bar.
*
* Over time `libunity.so` has become less common on the Linux Desktop.
* (it's no longer installed by default on most distributions, or even easily available).
* So long term Blender should be updated to talk to DBUS directly,
* perhaps as a dynamically loaded library which is used when available.
*
* This would allow X11/WAYLAND to share their task-bar implementation too. */
