Check for orphans also when loading a config.

Because of the way the configuration copying is used, sometimes orphans
can persist in configs (because they don't go through xfconf.)

Be careful about which plugins are deleted.

If the key /plugins/plugin-2 is deemed to be bad, we should not delete
/plugins/plugin-20 for example. So check that the keys to be deleted
either exactly match, or start with the pattern + '/'.

Fix (LP: #1765565): Don't crash on corrupted panel configs.

1. Fix the problem directly:

Catch the exception if the .desktop file is missing and return false.
This will remove launchers with missing .desktop (not just the binary).

2. Fix the problem more generally:

Ignore orphan plugin configurations. This is a plugin configuration
section which is not refered to by any panel and therefore is not used.
Some old versions of xfce4-panel seem to create these, but I can't
reproduce with the latest version.

These orphans are completely ignored by the panel. Xfpanel-switch also
ignores them, unless they are launchers with missing .desktop files.
The second part of this patch cleans them out anyway.
