  • improve the existing AppStream metadata, adding few more tags
  • ignore the dustrac-editor.desktop for AppStream

See the messages of the individual commits for longer explanations.

- switch the component type from "desktop" (pre-2016) to
  "desktop-application"
- add <launchable> tag to point to the desktop file
- add <provides> tag listing the two binaries provided (the game and
  the editor)
- add an <url> tag for the list of issues
The editor is already represented as part of the AppStream metadata of
the game itself, and thus it does not need its own; hence, tell
AppStream to ignore this desktop file.

You could also add

<developer_name>Jussi Lind</developer_name>

which is required now.

According to https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html developer_name is deprecated and should be replaced with developer ?

Yes, a reverse DNS developer ID would be even better, but I wasn't sure you have one.
