1d607cf18f build: Add soup2 option
!1940 added support for soup 3, including a fallback to soup 2.4
where the newer version isn't available.

Unfortunately it missed that libgweather has a hidden soup dependency,
and now gnome-shell fails to start if a weather location has been set
up and soup 3 is available.

We don't have a good way to detect that case, so hide the soup 3 support
behind a build option. Distributors are expected to switch it at the
same time as libgweather.

39e6375aff extensions-app: Move Extensions app to new subproject
The Extensions app code is now independent enough from the rest of the code
base to move it to its own subprojects, like we did for the extensions-tool.

This allows for stand-alone builds of the app, which we are about to use
for distributing it as flatpak.

d8c7cac536 extensions-tool: Start import
The gnome-extensions tool[0] was started as an external project, and
provides a replacement for the existing gnome-shell-extension-tool.
It was decided to ship the tool as part of the gnome-shell repository,
so start importing it with its history into a subdir.

49133c7245 Remove the browser plugin
The browser plugin is crashy and broken; there are dozens of bugs filed
against it on Bugzilla and nobody is looking at them. Chrome and Firefox
have both dropped support for NPAPI plugins. Epiphany still has support,
but it's hidden behind a gsetting and all the UI to enable it has been
removed, so very few users would be able to figure out how to enable.
I've even previously considered blacklisting this plugin in the past due
to all the crashes.

Since this plugin has not actually worked in any browsers for a long
time now, time to delete it.

ca367e4e26 build: Stop detecting features automatically
Auto-detect options add some convenience for platforms where a
particular feature isn't available - systemd on non-Linux OS comes
to mind - but the downside is that it is easy to accidentally build
without a desired feature. We consider the latter much more serious
nowadays, so turn our auto-detect options into regular boolean
options.

10c602fe95 build: Remove 'enable' prefix from option names
Meson options are typed, so the prefix isn't necessary, and indeed
looks odd when used to disable the option:
 -Denable_foo=false

Also replace underscores with dashes, which is the preferred meson
style.

c987d3d2c9 build: Support the meson build system
Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,
so support it in addition to autotools. If all goes well, we'll
eventually be able to drop the latter ...
