The switch for enabling/disabling extensions currently bases its
state on the extension's ACTIVE state.
This is problematic in the enabled-but-inactive case, because
activating the switch tries to change the state from off to on,
which leads to enabling an already enabled extension (an obvious
no-op).
The new `enabled` property allows us to do better, and use delayed
state changes where the switch position represents the `enabled`
state, and the trough color whether the extension is ACTIVE.

The ENABLED state means that an extension's `enable()` method
was called successfully.
This usually matches whether an extension *should* be enabled
according to the enabled-extensions/disabled-extensions settings,
but not necessarily: If an extension had an error or does not
support the currently active mode, its actual state is different.
We currently only expose the actual state to external tooling,
but whether an extension should be enabled is relevant as well,
for example to disable a lock-screen only extension from the
regular session.
For that purpose we will expose a separate `enabled` property.
To avoid confusion with the existing states, change the exposed
names to (IN)ACTIVE.
This does not affect the D-Bus API, as the numeric values of
the states remain unchanged.

The newly added developer name syntax appears not implemented
across related platforms: GNOME Software, Flathub, etc.
There is no harm in using both deprecated and newly introduced
tags together, and neither appstream-glib nor appstreamcli
fails to validate this usage.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3079>
- Use the `<developer><name>` tag instead of the deprecated `<developer_name>`
- Implement appstreamcli for extra appdata validation
- Fix a release description
- Update the donation URL
- Add the translation tag

After the last rounds of redesign, it's time to update
the appdata accordingly:
- update screenshots
- add screenshot captions
- point homepage to apps.gnome.org
- mark as mobile adaptive

Manually adding and removing rows to dynamic lists is rather
old-fashioned, GTK 4 strongly encourages the use of models.
Modernize the code by exposing extensions as ListModel, and
bind it to the two lists with appropriate filters.

Most properties that determine the availability of an action are
not expected to change, but now that extensions are represented
as a GObject, we can just generically set up bindings for all
actions instead of explicitly tracking the properties that we
expect to change.

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.

We use our own lists so we can do filtering, but that means we
lose the built-in relation with the group's title.
Set the relation ourselves, so the two lists are described correctly
in screen readers.

Since GNOME 44, extension schemas are compiled at install time.
At the time GNOME 46 is released, this will be all supported versions,
so start relying on it and drop the old compatibility
code.

Now that both the website and the Extension app support the custom
"version-name" field, we should expose it in the CLI tool as well.
As a more developer-oriented tool, keep showing the automatic
version along-side the new field when both are set.

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 only create boilerplate code for the actual
extension. Now that libadwaita has largely standardized
preference UIs, it makes sense to allow creating the
prefs.js boilerplate as well.
