Merge lp:~donadigo/switchboard-plug-parental-controls/fix-home-config into lp:~elementary-pantheon/switchboard-plug-parental-controls/trunk

[Adam Bieńkowski]

* Save config file to share/pantheon-parental-controls instead of each home folder
* Rename "Vars" to "Constants"
* Do not block apps when not active
* Restarting configuration is now more unified in the code

This branch fixes an issue where created user that was never logged in (and his home directory wasn't initiated) the config file wouldn't be created and the config wouldn't be applied. We now have a config file in data/ folder which will be installed in cmake_install_prefix/share/pantheon-parental-controls. This config provides brief description of what it does and how to use it.

There are also some minor changes like renaming "Vars" to "Constants" and fixing smaller bugs.

This is work for Loki Update.

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Needs trunk merged in and conflicts resolved.

review: Needs Fixing

[lp:~donadigo/switchboard-plug-parental-controls/fix-home-config]

230. By Adam Bieńkowski on 2016-12-09

Merge trunk; resolve conflicts; fix writing time restrictions logic to PAM configuration

[Adam Bieńkowski (donadigo)]

Branch updated.

[Felipe Escoto (philip.scott)]

Stepping to the right direction with this branch. I'm approving it so we can move on without it getting too large
