This moves libappindicator to use a different upstream source. Rather
than use the 8 year old (!) version displayed on its homepage
(https://launchpad.net/libappindicator), this switches us to the
maintained lp:libappindicator branch, browseable over here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/libappindicator/trunk.
This includes numerous fixes, remains updated, and matches what ubuntu
uses.
Due to a personal preference for git over bzr, I have the package using
ubuntu's git mirror of the package for the source rather than the bzr
repo where I think development actually takes place.
This also removes the no-python patch, because per revision 292
(https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/libappindicator/trunk/revision/292),
that has been dropped from upstream already, so the patch is no longer
needed.
The primary motivation behind this change is to fix a crash with
libappindicator (reported
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libappindicator/+bug/1867996
and in various other places).
The relevant patch for that should be included in this version.
Motivation for this change
Fix crashes in libappindicator apps that have been fixed in the more-up-to-date upstream fork of libappindicator (maintained by canonical)

For those error packages, picking a random set to retry manually, I get that they're marked as broken due to a transitive dependency on a broken gst-plugins-base. For example:
I didn't see a clean way to exaustively verify all of them were broken in that same way, but the ones I sampled were.
