Motivation for this change

I wanted to enable global menus (appmenus, unity menus, dbusmenus, …) for VSCode and VSCodium. It's worth mentioning the issue: #65680

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

As can be seen on the following screenshot, I've built the VSCode package and it now works with DBusMenus as it should. The only thing I did was to add libdbusmenu-gtk3 to dependencies in several places in the file. I've also tried to honor the Darwin target by adding libdbusmenu-gtk3 only where it didn't apply to Darwin, but, since I don't have a Mac to test this change, nor am I overly versed in Nix{,OS,Pkgs,…} ecosystem, I implore you to check that before accepting this push request. I'm guessing libdbusmenu doesn't work in Mac to provide global menus, but perhaps I'm wrong about that.

As suggested by the nixpkgs manual I've made a patch for the branch I'm currently using, stable 19.09, tag c49da64. That is a bit strange approach to me, usually patches are made for master, but I don't think there should be too much difference between this patch and the patch to master, when this concrete file is concerned.

It's safe: it just installs a new file into otherwise unused output.

I'm guessing the manual needs updating… it makes absolutely no sense making a PR like this, based on an old (stable) tag.
