ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

The HIG discourages the use of icons in menus except for "noun" items
(files, bookmarks, ...). While those should be rarely used in the
application menu, it still makes sense to support them in the few
cases where they are used.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

To avoid recreating the app menu unnecessarily, the panel checks
whether the menu's current actionGroup already matches the target
one. However as the menu's actionGroup property is currently private,
the test always fails, whoops.

Wrap new GtkMenuTracker API that adds an easy way to bind to
tracker items, and use it to add back support for submenus.
This also adds support for a submenu feature that we didn't
have support for before, action namespaces.

This pulls in new upstream API that Ryan will maintain, removing
code on our side.
Currently, our implementation of submenus will be gone, but this
will be fixed in a few commits.
