3989cad3db build: Remove Canberra dependency
It is no longer direct, but rather through mutter API.

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.

d57dc94d9e tools: Migrate changed overrides settings
While the new per-desktop overrides in GIO are easier to use for
both developers and users, it is still inconvenient for everyone
who changed the defaults using the old overrides hack to lose
their settings. Address this by running a small script on startup
that migrates existing settings.

d2a97e7f1d volume: Allow volume above 100%
Depending on hardware and recorded volume level, turning up the speakers
to the maximum volume may not be enough and the user will want to amplify
the volume above 100%. Currently this requires opening the sound Settings
panel which gets cumbersome when required repeatedly.

To support this case better, allow raising the sound volume above 100%
directly from the system menu if the feature is enabled via the
`allow-volume-above-100-percent` key in `org.gnome.desktop.sound`.

49d8ff38e7 Add check_cloexec_fds debug command
Add a debug command (to be executed manually via Alt+F2) to check
that all of gnome-shell's file descriptors have the CLOEXEC flag set.
This is important so that internal file descriptors do not get passed
to apps when they are launched.

It prints a warning message for every fd that does not have the flag set.

fdwalk() is used from the standard library if available (it is not
available in glibc), otherwise we use the same implementation as glib
has internally.

4b522a02c3 shell-app: remove child_setup from app launching
When the amount of free memory on the system is somewhat low, gnome-shell
will sometimes fail to launch apps, reporting the error:
  fork(): Cannot allocate memory

fork() is failing here because while cloning the process virtual address
space, Linux worries that the thread being forked may end up COWing the
entire address space of the parent process (gnome-shell, which is
memory-hungry), and there is not enough free memory to permit that to
happen. This check is somewhat irrelevant because we are only forking
to immediately exec(), which will discard the whole virtual address
space anyway.

This issue can be avoided by using a new optimized gspawn codepath in
the latest glib development version, which uses posix_spawn() internally.

For the optimized codepath to be used, we must not pass a child_setup
function, so the the file descriptor management is reimplemented here
using new glib API to pass fds to the child process. The old API will
continue to be used on older glib versions.

We must also change the spawn flags for this code path to be hit.
I checked that gnome-shell's open file descriptors are all CLOEXEC
so using G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN should be safe.

This will result in more resilient app launching when memory is low,
since the optimized spawn path avoids cloning the virtual address
space of the parent process (gnome-shell) and avoids the irrelevant
memory overcommit check.

43e8dfacb4 build: Don't use libdir for systemd unit path
Some systems define it to /usr/lib64 on 64-bit systems, which is not
where systemd looks for unit files. Just hardcode 'lib' in the install
prefix until we get to use the pkg-config file.

a5937d1d6d Add systemd units
So that we can be started by systemd --user, instead of gnome-session.

There are three units:

  - gnome-shell.service: Start gnome-shell itself.
  - gnome-shell-x11.target, gnome-shell-wayland.target: Sync points for
    units that need to care if x11 or wayland is in use.
    gnome-settings-daemon will use these, for example.

47ea10b7c9 Remove usage of MetaScreen
Remove any usage of MetaScreen, as it has been removed from libmutter
in the API version 3. The corresponding functionality has been moved

specific functionality) and MetaWorkspaceManager.

c82cb918ae network: initialize the agent asynchronously
This also bumps the NM requirement. We actually already use API from
1.0, but regularly hit various NetworkManager bugs with versions prior
to 1.10.2. 1.10.4 fixes the asynchronous agent initialization.

c62e7a6a82 build: Make sassc mandatory and always generate CSS files from Sass sources
The previous implementation of the CSS generation logic considered sassc
an optional dependency and made sure for that reason that the result CSS
files ended up in the source directory, so that they could be checked
in and kept in sync with the source sass files.

As we are making sassc a required dependency, we can now stop doing that
extra work and simply rely on the CSS files being automatically generated
each time the sass sources change. By doing this, we can now effectively
get rid of the CSS files checked in the repo as well as of the parse_sass.sh
script, since the CSS files will now live on the build directory only.

083d11a032 misc: Make IBus a mandatory dependency
IBus was initially made optional as gnome-shell depended on too
recent API. This API is now old enough and gnome-shell is committing
further to IBus by implementing a ClutterInputMethod through it.
Let's just make IBus a mandatory dependency, instead of making code
paths trickier to cater for situations where it's missing.

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.
