[Impact]

The Cinnamon package shipped in the Ubuntu 19.04 repositories is >=
Cinnamon 3.8. This version of Cinnamon only supports window border
themes which are metacity-3 compliant [1].

The Bluebird theme's upstream git repository has already been updated
with metacity-3 compliance [2] but this change has not made its way into
the Ubuntu package.

This means that while the package is installable, the theme will not be
selectable in Cinnamon's Theme application for selecting window borders
(it won't even appear as an option).

[Test Case]

Install `bluebird-gtk-theme`, open the "Themes" application and click on
"Window Borders"

Expected result: Bluebird window borders appear as an option, may be
selected, and the window borders activate.

Actual result: Bluebird window borders are absent from the window
borders selection menu.

[Regression Potential]

This doesn't modify any of the rest of the theme, but only installs
metacity-3 support. In using the theme I haven't experienced any
oddities.

themes are now restricted to metacity-3"
