Both icons are not immediately obvious, and the context provided
by the tooltip can be hard to discover.
Address this by making the icons interactive, and provide further
information in a popover.

The extensions site recently added support for a custom
"version-name" string in metadata:
gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/extensions-web/-/merge_requests/154
This allows developers to control the version that is exposed to
users. As the version according to the developer is almost always
more relevant than the automatic version assigned by the website,
use it instead of the "version" field if set.

We currently include a fake config.js file to satisfy the indirect
import from ExtensionUtils. However we're about to need to pass
build-time information into the program ourselves, so generate
a proper file.

After porting the more complex cases - in particular those that
affect a module's API - we are left with straight-forward D-Bus
method calls that can be moved to promise-based wrappers in one
go.
For consistency, this also switches from Remote to Async where
the call result is ignored.

libadwaita has a new About window, and GNOME apps are expected
to use it going forward instead of GtkAboutDialog.
Comments are meant to be detailed, and are no longer shown in the
main view. So we remove the old comments.

If one of these libraries breaks its GIR API in future, then upgrading
packages unrelated to gnome-shell might pull in the newer version,
causing gnome-shell to crash when it gets a newer GIR API that is
incompatible with its expectations. For example, this seems to be
happening in Debian testing at the moment, when GNOME Shell 41.4
imports GWeather and can get version 4.0 instead of the version 3.0 that
it expected.
Adding explicit API versions at the time the newer version is released
is too late, because that will still let the newer version of the GIR API
break pre-existing GNOME Shell packages. Prevent similar crashes in
future by making the desired versions explicit.
This is done for all third-party libraries except GLib, similar to the
common practice in Python code; if GLib breaks API, then that will be
a disruptive change to the whole GLib/GObject ecosystem, regardless.
Gvc, Meta, Shell, Shew, St are not included because they're private
(only exist in a non-default search path entry).
Clutter and Cogl *are* included, because we need to import the fork of
them that comes with Meta, as opposed to their deprecated standalone
versions.

If the finish function isn't specified, promisify will now try
to use the async name without '_async'/'_begin' suffix (if any)
and '_finish' appended.
Everything except IBus uses a variation of that pattern, so there's
quite a bit of boilerplate we get to remove…

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.

With the previous preparations in place, it is time to take the plunge.
As both the app and the portal use the same small library for handling
external windows, port everything at once to avoid the hassle of building
and installing two versions of the library.
With the portal using GTK4 now, all extensions must port their preference
widgets as well.

Unlike in previous GTK version (or Clutter), destroy() no longer
breaks reference cycles but just releases the reference held by
GTK itself.
So any reference we hold - either the explicit property or any signal
handlers that bind the window as `this` - prevents the window from
being disposed when closed, and the application won't quit.
Work around this by explicitly running dispose() on the window when
it is removed from the application.

Currently there is no indication that an extension had an error except
for the sensitivity of the switch (which may have a different cause).
This is useful information to users, so add a small error indicator
alongside the updates icon and show the actual error in the details.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2337
Currently the switches handle position reflects the requested
extension state (as in: the user (de)activated the switch),
while the actual extension state is reflected by the underlying
state.
That doesn't work well when the switch is insensitive though (for
example on error), because the desaturation neuters the color
that reflects the state.
Address this by resetting the switch handle to the state when
making it insensitive.

Commit 764527c8c9b adjusted the "call" call to promisification that
never happened (in this bit of code).
We can either add back a callback or properly promisify the call;
this opts for the latter.

We kept the old binary name when overhauling the tool for the Extensions
app to avoid unnecessary churn for packagers/distributors.
However we now have a reason to "free" the old name, so rename the binary
to match the (sub)project name.

As of mozjs68 (gjs-1.64) `globalThis` is recommended over `window` and
it makes more sense in this context anyways. Migrate the few instances
of `window` we use and adjust the eslint configuration.
`window` will continue to resolve to `globalThis`, so this won't affect
extensions or other downstream users.
