Public bug reported:

Currently, the indicators are all non-multiarch for historical reasons.
We should enable multiarch indicators.

1) Add a new variable to the libindicator .pc files called something like 
genericindicatordir which continues to be just /usr/lib
2) Switch the indicatordir variable to a multiarch location (again -- we 
reverted away from that for bug 1126360)
3) Have unity fallback to look in the genericindicatordir as well as the (now-) 
multiarch indicatordir for plugins
4) As each indicator gets rebuilt, it will automatically migrate to multiarch, 
since "indicatordir" is now multiarch.  But old indicators will still work.
