Right now, when a user clicks on the panel clock, a menu pops up with a
calendar and a list of events from the user's schedule. The list of
events only makes sense from within a user's session, however.
As part of the prep work for making the shell a platform for the login
screen, this commit makes the events list optional.

The theme currently hard codes the minimum size of the calendar
menu to make sure there's a designated area for events
(even if there isn't anything currently scheduled).
A side-effect of the hard coded minimum width is that
if the events area is hidden, the menu ends up much
bigger than the calendar. We don't currently ever hide
the events area, but we will in the future.
This commit moves the min-width restriction from the menu
specifically to the events area.

All the system status menus in the panel offer a
menu item to jump to a relevant part of the
control-center.
This means each status icon has the same, or nearly the
same bit of code to:
- Add a new "action" menu item and listen for its activation.
- Hide the overview if it's showing when the menu item is activated
- Find the relevant control-center panel from its desktop file
- Launch the control-center to the relevant panel
This commit consolidates all those details in a new method,
addSettingsAction. This refactoring reduces code duplication and
slight inconsistencies in the code resulting from that duplication.
It will also make it easier in subsequent commits to hide settings menu
items when the shell is used in the login screen.

Use the existing setting
org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.office.calendar.exec
as calendar application instead of the hard-coded evolution. Evolution
is still the fallback if that setting is cleared (it defaults to
evolution).

Since almost all of the callers of shell_app_activate were using the
default workspace (by passing -1), remove that parameter.
Add a new shell_app_activate_full() API which takes a workspace as
well as a timestamp; previously we might have been ignoring event
timestamps from elsewhere.

This dramatically thins down and sanitizes the application code.
The ShellAppSystem changes in a number of ways:
* Preferences are special cased more explicitly; they aren't apps,
they're shortcuts for an app), and we don't have many of them, so
don't need e.g. the optimizations in ShellAppSystem for searching.
* get_app() changes to lookup_app() and returns null if an app isn't
found. The semantics where it tried to find the .desktop file
if we didn't know about it were just broken; I am pretty sure no
caller needs this, and if they do we'll fix them.
* ShellAppSystem maintains two indexes on apps (by desktop file id
and by GMenuTreeEntry), but is no longer in the business of
dealing with GMenuTree as far as hierarchy and categories go. That
is moved up into js/ui/appDisplay.js. Actually, it flattens both
apps and settings.
Also, ShellWindowTracker is now the sole reference-owner for
window-backed apps. We still do the weird "window:0x1234beef" id
for these apps, but a reference is not stored in ShellAppSystem.
The js/ui/appDisplay.js code is rewritten, and sucks a lot less.
Variable names are clearer:
_apps -> _appIcons
_filterApp -> _visibleApps
_filters -> _categoryBox
Similarly for function names. We no longer call (for every app) a
recursive lookup in GMenuTree to see if it's in a particular section
on every category switch; it's all cached.
NOTE - this intentionally reverts the incremental loading code from
commit 7813c5b93f. It's fast enough
here without that.

In commit 9bd22dc0, I introduced an API to load an arbitrary
.desktop file, not necessarily from the menu path. It turns
out this function was broken because it created ShellApp instances
that were *different* from ones that were cached normally.
As far as I can tell, we didn't initially use it. Then later
Util.spawnDesktop was created which used this function.
Remove this broken function and all callers; if we're loading
.desktop files from *outside* the menu path, we can look at
readding.
This patch also kills off Util.spawnDesktop in favor of callers
talking to ShellAppSystem directly, now that the latter reports
errors.

If we don't update every second, we may show the wrong time for up to
a minute on 1. resume; or 2. when changing the time; or 3. when
changing the timezone. This is both annoying and and leads to people
thinking that the tool for changing the time / timezone is broken.

It already doesn't work right, because the PanelMenuButton code
assumes that Left and Right won't be used as part of keynav within a
menu. And the gnome-panel calendar isn't keyboard accessible either,
so this isn't a regression. To be fixed later.

Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.

Currently the menu has a hardcoded width which result into the hover
effect of the "Open Calendar" item being "cut off" in the middle rather
then reaching to the edge.
To be consistent with other menu items, make it expand to fill the available
space.
We try to position the boxpointer centered above the calendar,
which swaps position with the events list when using a RTL locale,
so make the menu alignment dependent on the text direction.
