Showing multiple preference dialogs at the same time (for instance
by repeated `gnome-extensions prefs` calls) may or may not work as
expected, depending on whether any of the dialogs is modal or not
(read: opened via the Extensions app).
The easiest way to address this is to disallow more than a single
dialog at the time. It's arguably also the more predictable behavior,
and means extensions don't have to deal with inconsistent state
caused by multiple dialogs.

GTK4 relies entirely on refcounting for cleanup (that is,
there is no longer a destroy() method that forces a dispose
run regardless of the refcount).
Unfortunately that makes cleanup harder in (some) language
bindings, where an object may be kept alive implicitly by
closures etc.
Address this by releasing the hold count when the window
is closed rather than when it is destroyed.
This isn't the most elegant, but it ensure that the service
doesn't get stuck if an extension doesn't carefully clean
up everything in its prefs widget.

We currently ignore any error that may occur when calling the
OpenExtensionPrefs D-Bus method. Right now such an error is highly
unlikely, given that we already checked that we are running under
gnome-shell and the extension in question exists and has prefs.
We'll soon make sure that only one dialog is shown at any time,
which is an error that we can realistically expect, so handle that
properly.

Windows from some applications, such as guake, are created as showing on
all workspaces. When these windows are put on the workspaces via
set_workspace_state() during construction, the first time the window is
added to a workspace in the loop triggers the shell app tracker which
then tries to move the window to its startup workspace. This makes the
window unsticky which triggers another set_workspace_state() which
tries to remove the window from all workspaces, but currently it is only
on the first one and then adds it to the startup workspace. Once that is
finished, the first set_workspace_state() continues adding the window
to the remaining workspaces, despite the window now no longer having
on_all_workspaces set to true.
When the window is now unmanaged, the window according to its internal
state is only found on the startup workspace, so it will only be removed
from that. This causes the assertion to fail that checks that the window
is no longer present on any workspace after this.

Like the old Tweener API, ease() allows to transition multiple
properties at once. If autoReverse or repeatCount are specified,
they should apply to all transitions, but right now we only set
them for the first one.

Now that we allow extensions at the lock screens, extensions
are allowed for every session mode gnome-shell would typically
change to at runtime.
This means there's little advantage to having an allowExtensions
property in the session mode definition.
This commit simplifies the code a bit by dropping the property.
Third party session modes can still lock down extensions through
gsettings if they need to.

Now extensions can specify which session modes they work in,
but specifying the login screen or unlock screen session modes in
an extensions metadata still won't work, because those session
modes disallow extensions.
This commit fixes that.

At the moment it's not realy possible to extend the login screen to do
things it doesn't have built-in support for. This means in order
to support niche use cases, those cases have to change the main
code base. For instance, oVirt and Vmware deployments want to be able
to automaticaly log in guest VMs when a user pre-authenticates through a
console on a management host. To support those use cases, we added
code to the login screen directly, even though most machines will never
be associated with oVirt or Vmware management hosts.
We also get requests from e.g. government users that need certain features
at the login screen that wouldn't get used much outside of government
deployments. For instance, we've gotten requests that a machine contains
prominently displays that it has "Top Secret" information.
All of these use cases seem like they would better handled via
extensions that could be installed in the specific deployments. The
problem is extensions only run in the user session, and get
disabled at the login screen automatically.
This commit changes that. Now extensions can specify in their metadata
via a new sessionModes property, which modes that want to run in. For
backward compatibility, if an extension doesn't specify which session
modes it works in, its assumed the extension only works in the user
session.

At the moment a session mode either allows extensions or it doesn't.
If it allows extensions, then the entire available list of
configured extensions get enabled as soon as the session mode is
entered.
Since enabling or disabling extensions is an all or nothing situation,
the code tracks whether extensions are already enabled when entering
the session mode, and if so, avoids iterating through the extension list
needlessly. It does this using a boolean named _enabled.
In the future, the extensions themselves will be given some say on
whether or not they should be enabled in a given session mode. This
means, the configured extension list may contain extensions that
shouldn't be enabled for a given session mode, and the _enabled boolean
will no longer be appropriated.
This commit drops the _enabled boolean optimization.

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.

commit 8721c5db37 made StPasswordEntry
honor the 'disable-show-password' setting.
Unfortunately, it introduced a lifecycle bug where the signal handler
for noticing setting changes can out live the entry itself.

This job "needs" the build job and thus gets its artifacts, but
it will not inherit the environment where we already installed
Mutter in /usr. This apparently broke once there was a more
recent mutter-clutter .pc file to look up.
Install Mutter in /usr again in this job, so the new build for
coverity finds all dependencies.

If a user hits escape twice really fast when coming back to
their machine to unlock it, they made end up getting presented
with a non-functional unlock screen that doesn't show their
user icon and doesn't ask for a password.
This is because showPrompt assumes that if an auth prompt already
exists, it's ready to go. That may not be true, if it's in the
process of getting torn down at the time because it's in the middle
of a cancel animation.
This commit solves the problem by ensuring the auth prompt is always
in a fresh reset state before showing it.

If the the unlock dialog gets finished before an auth dialog is
created, the code currently creates one just to tell it to finish.
This commit changes the code to skip creating the auth dialog in
that case.

Commit dd2cd6286c restricted callers of the screenshot methods to
portal implementations, gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-screenshot.
That restriction does make sense for the actual screenshot methods,
but `PickColor` is actually used by GTK in its color picker (and
therefore may be called from arbitrary applications).
Fix this by unrestricting access to `PickColor` again. Considering that
the method is always interactive, it's not very privacy/security-sensitive
anyway.

Icons that are changed while an actor is not mapped may not have a theme
node associated with, and thus we'd end up not updating them at all.
In fact we return early in st_update_icon(), and this was not an issue
until commit 0b1dfbf6f3, because we'd end up to update the icon anyways
once the style was changed (and so with a valid theme node), but since
such change we might not updating the icon if no theme detail changed.
To prevent this, add a flag to require an icon update when the theme
changed, if no successfully update happened earlier.
