Subject: [PATCH] Add apps-icon-name pref: themed icon override for the apps
 button

Like dash-to-dock's show-apps icon swap: a string pref (empty = stock
grid icon) applied to the real ShowAppsIcon St.Icon in _inspectIcon,
with fallback_icon_name so missing theme names degrade to the stock
icon. The animated renderer inherits it via icon_name cloning.
Restored on icon cleanup.

Also completes the half-implemented 'string' pref plumbing in
PrefKeys: setValue never persisted strings to GSettings, connectBuilder
had no string case (entries never saved), and connectSettings called
set_value on widgets that only have set_text.
