daf729de11 build: Replace deprecated meson functions
Replace deprecated functions with their direct replacements:

 - dep.get_pkgconfig_variable() → dep.get_variable()
 - prg.path() → prg.full_path()
 - source/build_root() → project_source/build_root()

In one case we need meson.global_source_root() that was only
added in meson 0.58, so bump the requirement to that.

af5aff3251 dbusServices/screensaver: Split out public ScreenSaver service
Commit 799bbdb50 split out the public Fdo notification service, so
that any app with permission to talk to org.freedesktop.Notifications
will in fact be limited to that service.

To a somewhat lesser extent this applies to the org.gnome.ScreenSaver
service as well, which some applications still use instead of the
Inhibit portal.

2b0731ab81 Move screencasting into a separate service process
Move the screencasting into a separate D-Bus service process, using
PipeWire instead of Clutter API. The service is implemented in
Javascript using the dbusService.js helper, and implements the same API
as was done by screencast.js and the corresponding C code.

91b7474d5a dbusServices/extensions: Proxy Extensions API
Similar to the previously added org.freedesktop.Notifications proxy,
this exposes the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions API and forwards any
request to the real implementation in gnome-shell.

The motivation differs though: We want to be able to package the
extension app as flatpak and distribute it separately, but the
extension prefs dialog is hard to impossible to sandbox:

 - filenames need translating between host and sandbox, and we
   can only do that in some cases (serializing/deserializing
   extensions), but not others (extension settings that refer
   to files)

 - system extensions install their GSettings schemas in the system
   path; the best we can do there is assume a host prefix of /usr
   and set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR in the flatpak (eeks)

 - extensions may rely on additional typelibs that are present on
   the host (for example because gnome-shell itself depends on
   them), but not inside the sandbox - unless we bundle all of
   gnome-shell's dependencies

 - if gjs/mozjs differ between host and sandbox, extensions must
   handle different runtimes for the extension and its prefs

And all those issues occur despite a very permissive sandbox (full
host filesystem access, full dconf access, full org.gnome.Shell
access (including Eval()!)).

This new service will give us an alternative place for handling
the preference dialog:

 - it runs outside of gnome-shell process, so can open windows

 - it runs on the host, so the extension's prefs get to run
   in the same namespace as the extension itself

That is, the service will provide portal-like functionality (albeit
not using the org.freedesktop.portal.* namespace, as extension
management is an inherently privileged operation).

799bbdb503 dbusServices/notifications: Add a separate notification daemon
Add a small service that exposes the Fdo notification API under the
well-known name, and forwards any requests to the actual implementation
in the shell.

That way any app with permission to talk to org.freedesktop.Notifications
will get exactly that, and nothing more.

574c560677 dbusServices: Add some base classes for small stand-alone services
There are a couple of D-Bus services that are currently provided by
gnome-shell for which it makes sense to move them fully or partially
into separate processes:

 - screen recording (performance)
 - FDO notifications (security)
 - Extensions (portalization)

Add some base classes and build system glue to take care of the
common boilerplate.
