Mutter and gnome-shell are released in lock-step, but I forgot to
bump the requirement accordingly.
Likewise the gsettings-desktop-schemas dependency is outdated, there
are a couple of keys we depend on that were added this cycle.
And while building should still be possible with the old gjs version,
we do require a newer version at runtime, so reflect that as well.

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.

Since the CI pipeline now runs `meson dist` which includes a test
for an up-to-date NEWS entry, post-branch/release version bumps
have become unwieldy.
It's still useful to increase the API version right after branching
though, so return to bumping it manually and do so now.

St's theme test now requires the libmutter-test library, which is only
built when tests are enabled. Instead of mandating a particular build
configuration in mutter, add a corresponding option in gnome-shell as
well.

This signal announces the preferred commit mode of the preedit text when
the input context is reset. Keep this mode around, and ensure to honor this
mode (e.g. maybe commit the preedit string) whenever the input method would
be reset.
This is delegated to the internal layers, so propagate this mode via
clutter_input_method_set_preedit_text().

!1940 added support for soup 3, including a fallback to soup 2.4
where the newer version isn't available.
Unfortunately it missed that libgweather has a hidden soup dependency,
and now gnome-shell fails to start if a weather location has been set
up and soup 3 is available.
We don't have a good way to detect that case, so hide the soup 3 support
behind a build option. Distributors are expected to switch it at the
same time as libgweather.

There's now a setting
org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-show-password
that ostensibly lets admins prevent from users from
showing their password in password dialogs.
gnome-shell currently ignores this key.
As a first step, this commit adds the setting to StSettings.
Future commits will use the new setting.

This ports over gnome-shell and the theme test case to MetaContext,
instead of the various functions that were available before.
The test case is changed to use the special test context, used to
construct contexts for testing. It's part of a shared libary separate
from the main libmutter one.
This enables building mutter tests during CI, as the test framework is
needed by some of gnome-shell's tests.

`mallinfo` has been deprecated in favor of `mallinfo2`:
```
The fields of the mallinfo structure that is returned by the
older mallinfo() function are typed as int. However, because
some internal bookkeeping values may be of type long, the
reported values may wrap around zero and thus be inaccurate.
```

The migration happened in GNOME 3.6 over 9 years ago. The chances
that someone migrates from 3.0.x or 3.2.x to 41 are very much zero.
And if it were to happen, it wouldn't work anyway, because we stopped
using a separate overrides schema.

With commits fab39bbea5 and
62e40a1350 we started depending on a new
ClutterActor API: clutter_actor_invalidate_paint_volume()
Given that this commit was applied to the 40 stable release, it broke
ABI compatibility with mutter, which is something we guarantee between
stable releases. So use GModule to dynamically find the symbol in our
loaded libraries. If it exists, use it and invalidate the paint volume.
If it doesn't exist, libmutter is still at version 40.0 and we don't
need to invalidate the paint volume.
This also adds a dependency on gmodule. We need to link against gmodule
to use g_module_open() and g_module_symbol() APIs.

Like the mutter 40.alpha.1.1 release, we missed adjusting to a
GSettings schema move from g-s-d to gsettings-desktop-schemas,
resulting in an abort on startup with the latest released
gnome-settings-daemon.
The man pages don't change very often, but draw in both docbook and
asciidoc. The latter is particularly problematic, as some distros
still ship only a python2 version of the tool.
Address this by generating the man pages at dist time, and including
the result in the tarball.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1553>
We already use asciidoc for the gnome-extensions man page, while
the main man page is generated from docbook XML. The former is a
much friendlier source format, so use it for both man pages.
Hopefully the plain text format encourages updates, to prevent the
page from getting as badly out of sync again as it is currently.

I messed up and released 40.alpha at the same time as 3.38.2, when it's
supposed to be in January. In order to re-align with the schedule, change
the upcoming version to 40.alpha2 so we don't have to skip a release and
will be back on track in time of 40.beta.
Move the screencasting into a separate D-Bus service process, using
PipeWire instead of Clutter API. The service is implemented in
Javascript using the dbusService.js helper, and implements the same API
as was done by screencast.js and the corresponding C code.
