GtkRecentManager: Survive without a filename

We were asserting priv->filename != NULL in various places,
which leads to apps refusing to work when HOME is set to a
nonexisting or nonwritable value. Since it isn't hard, just
make GtkRecentManager survive without a filename. We won't
save or read any recently used files in this state, but
thats ok.
