Add replacement for gdk_spawn_command_line_on_screen

gdk_spawn_command_line_on_screen is removed in GTK3, and require some code
to be replaced, so we are going to use a common function to replace it in
MATE source code to have GTK3 support

+/**
+ * mate_gdk_spawn_command_line_on_screen:
+ * @screen: a GdkScreen
+ * @command: a command line
+ * @error: return location for errors
+ *
+ * This is a replacement for gdk_spawn_command_line_on_screen, removed
+ * in GTK3.
+ *
+ * gdk_spawn_command_line_on_screen is like g_spawn_command_line_async(),
+ * except the child process is spawned in such an environment that on
+ * calling gdk_display_open() it would be returned a GdkDisplay with
+ * screen as the default screen.
+ *
+ * This is useful for applications which wish to launch an application
+ * on a specific screen.
+ *
+ * Returns: TRUE on success, FALSE if error is set.
+ *
+ * Since: 1.7.1
