6207c68439 extensions: Ignore extensions in directories without read permission
Gio.enumerate_children() throws an exception if called for a directory
without read permissions. Catch this case to allow the shell to start.

6bf2dd9138 ExtensionSystem: pass the metadata object to extensions
This allows using metadata.json as a configuration point (for
example for installation prefix).

5412ce276c ExtensionSystem: introduce versioning
Require that all extensions have a "shell-version" property in their
metadata, which is an array of supported Shell versions.
Extensions can target a specific version triple or an entire stable
version.
Optionally, they can also require a specific GJS version, to ensure
compatibility.

6df48b68fa extensionSystem: Don't load extensions multiple times
Right now if XDG_DATA_DIRS is set to have duplicate entries,
then the extension system will try to load all extensions
more than once.

This commit prevents an extension from getting repeatedly
loaded by checking if its uuid is already registered.

2799327c84 Migrate to GSettings
Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.

A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.

GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

703b21cef0 Don't use double quotes for things that don't need to be translated
This is our convention.

The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.

b1486f54c8 [ShellGlobal] Change location for user files to XDG_DATA_HOME
While the extension system already uses an XDG location (XDG_CONFIG_HOME),
other components use the deprecated $HOME/.gnome2 directory.
Replace both with XDG_DATA_HOME - the existing data (app usage stats,
looking glass history and extensions) is not migrated to the new location.

aa9d3515a1 Add extensionSystem
Consumer documentation will live at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions

In terms of implementation; basically we load extensions from the well-known
directories.  Add a GConf key to disable extensions by uuid.  There is a new
option --create-extension for the gnome-shell script which takes a bit of
interactive input, sets up some sample files, and launches gedit.

No extensions UI in this patch; that will come later.
