This ports over gnome-shell and the theme test case to MetaContext,
instead of the various functions that were available before.
The test case is changed to use the special test context, used to
construct contexts for testing. It's part of a shared libary separate
from the main libmutter one.
This enables building mutter tests during CI, as the test framework is
needed by some of gnome-shell's tests.

`mallinfo` has been deprecated in favor of `mallinfo2`:
```
The fields of the mallinfo structure that is returned by the
older mallinfo() function are typed as int. However, because
some internal bookkeeping values may be of type long, the
reported values may wrap around zero and thus be inaccurate.
```

The migration happened in GNOME 3.6 over 9 years ago. The chances
that someone migrates from 3.0.x or 3.2.x to 41 are very much zero.
And if it were to happen, it wouldn't work anyway, because we stopped
using a separate overrides schema.

With commits fab39bbea5 and
62e40a1350 we started depending on a new
ClutterActor API: clutter_actor_invalidate_paint_volume()
Given that this commit was applied to the 40 stable release, it broke
ABI compatibility with mutter, which is something we guarantee between
stable releases. So use GModule to dynamically find the symbol in our
loaded libraries. If it exists, use it and invalidate the paint volume.
If it doesn't exist, libmutter is still at version 40.0 and we don't
need to invalidate the paint volume.
This also adds a dependency on gmodule. We need to link against gmodule
to use g_module_open() and g_module_symbol() APIs.

Like the mutter 40.alpha.1.1 release, we missed adjusting to a
GSettings schema move from g-s-d to gsettings-desktop-schemas,
resulting in an abort on startup with the latest released
gnome-settings-daemon.
The man pages don't change very often, but draw in both docbook and
asciidoc. The latter is particularly problematic, as some distros
still ship only a python2 version of the tool.
Address this by generating the man pages at dist time, and including
the result in the tarball.

We already use asciidoc for the gnome-extensions man page, while
the main man page is generated from docbook XML. The former is a
much friendlier source format, so use it for both man pages.
Hopefully the plain text format encourages updates, to prevent the
page from getting as badly out of sync again as it is currently.

I messed up and released 40.alpha at the same time as 3.38.2, when it's
supposed to be in January. In order to re-align with the schedule, change
the upcoming version to 40.alpha2 so we don't have to skip a release and
will be back on track in time of 40.beta.
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.

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.

In order to support OpenExtensionPrefs()'s parentWindow parameter,
we will need the ability to make a window transient to an external
window identified by a string handle.
This takes the corresponding code from xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and
brings it into an introspectable form, likewise the counterpart in
libportal to export a string handle for a GtkWindow.

I always forget to keep the extension-tool version number in sync when
doing a new release. Given that it's unlikely that I'll do much better
in the future by myself, make distcheck fail when the versions don't
match.

libnm doesn't only search for plugins in the regular VPN plugin directory,
but also in the legacy location and the directory pointed to by the
NM_VPN_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable (if set).
We don't monitor the additional directories, so it's possible for our cache
to become outdated.
Instead of trying to play catch-up with libnm's internals, do what nm-applet
does and use the appropriate API to look up the plugin on each request.

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.
