main/client: add --class, an alias for --app-id

Browse source 
This is to help e.g. scripts that wants to launch terminal instances
in a terminal agnostic way.

Many terminals were originally for X11, where the '--class' choice was
obvious. When they were ported to Wayland, it made sense for them to
keep the '--class' command line option, but have it set the
application ID instead (since "class" is not a thing on Wayland).

Let's add the alias, but minimally documented. We don't want to
_encourage_ its use after all.

Closes #2368
