App indicator does not show menu entries for Qt apps

Snaps that use the app indicator area via Qt can't display their menu entries there.

Some research:

- Uses http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsystemtrayicon.html
- didrocks mentions that there are AppArmor denials that prevent the entries from being created.

Discussed at the Heidelberg sprint, this isn't workaroundable for now, so needs upstream to tackle it and get some patches in Qt itself.
