It is quite weird to have those calls/signals using WindowClone as an
argument, it is neater to pass MetaWindows around, and have each user
deal with their own representations of these.

The rewrite of Mutter's background code (see bug 735637) requires
corresponding changes here - we no longer need to layer multiple
MetaBackgroundActors together.
The general strategy is that a BackgroundSource object is created
per GSettings schema, and keeps either one Background/MetaBackground pair,
or, for animation, a Background/Metabackground pair for each monitor.

Following design decision, we want to animate AllView and FrequentView
when opening and closing with a swarm spring form.
This involves a few changes needed to allow that, since from some time
now, we are animating page changes in viewSelector, using only a fade
transition. However now we want to let appDisplay and iconGrid apply its
own animation.
For that we special case the change to and from apps page on
viewSelector to let appDisplay to animate its own items, using and API
on appDisplay which at the same time uses an API on iconGrid.
Thanks Florian Müllner for the debugging work

The zooming animation of the windows looks nice when animating
from the workspace display page, but looks weird from other pages
like apps page or search page since the windows come from nowhere
with an initial position not known to the user.
Instead of that just fade the desktop with the windows in its
original position.

The DESKTOP window might not be located at (0,0), in particular
on multi-monitor setups. While we already consider this by setting
the clone's position, we then stuff the clone into a container which
ignores it - meh ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723306
If desktop icons are enabled and not covered by maximized windows,
we will fade them in/out during overview transitions. However when
moving background handling into mutter/gnome-shell, we ended up with
the overview background on top of the DESKTOP window clone, hiding
the fade transition.
Fix the stack order to bring the effect back.

Some consumers may want to construct their buttons specially, so allow them
to do that by adding a new API that takes a button instead of a label.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710137
The cover pane is used to block events during transitions, but as
workspaces don't share the same container as other overview elements,
they are currently excempt from the event blocking.
Move the cover pane to the top-level overview container instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709034
Moving the mouse fast enough during xdnd will trigger a xdnd-leave event
because the input shape is not updated until after the animation is done.
So simply ignore the leave events while the animation is in progress.

This method, which accepts a .desktop filename, is used to highlight
a specific application in the overview, for example because it has
just been created or installed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654086
The event catcher that covers the entire primary monitor during
transitions is currently inside a BoxLayout, relying in its
odd support for fixed position actors.
We already have a proper stack widget in place, move it there.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703808
Instead of using the input mode, when the overview is not modal
it should use a Chrome-tracked actor, that is added to the input
region. Because the overview always takes pointer input when
visible, the actor is added at startup, and it is shown and hidden
as needed.

Some keyboard spot a dedicated search key, which gnome-settings-daemon
currently handles by spawning gnome-search-tool. It makes a lot of
sense to promote the Shell's integrated search feature instead, so
expose an appropriate DBus method g-s-d can use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700536
Instead of creating a bunch of random actors and then passing
them off to the controls manager, let the controls manager
construct them. This leaves the controls manager in charge
of the ordeal.

Rather than expose a dizzying array of methods related to managing
state that require infecting every user of the overview methods, try
to do the sensible and smart thing internally. Now, the overview
itself tracks when XDND drags start, and simply calling show, hide or
toggle while an XDnD drag is in effect will show the overview, and
will only take the grab until after the XDND drag ends.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663661
This cleans up the code considerably, and makes it so that
one path creates all hot corners for all monitors. Why this
wasn't done originally, I have no clue...
The one complication is debouncing if the button and hot corner
are triggered in rapid succession, so we just move this tracking
to the overview.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663661
Previously, the overview BoxLayout was sized and positioned explicitly
using the primary monitor coordinates, as its parent was at 0,0 and
with a fixed layout manager. Now we use a bin layout, so we need to
position and size the stack actor, and set the overview boxlayout to
expand.
Take also the occasion to use a MonitorConstraint instead of handling
position and size manually.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694969
We used to clip the overview group to prevent the dash from sliding into
neighbor monitors, but now it moved to the groupStack, so we must move
the clip too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694970
We generally want view content centered, in particular where the
view itself is symmetrical. So move the dash to a separate layer
and use a placeholder to account for its size when showing the
window picker, which is the only view where it doesn't make sense
to center the content.

Commit 43ed66cf26 changed the toplevel overview actor, so it
makes sense to change the show/hide transitions to use that instead
of the existing group, to avoid elements layered on top of the
group being excluded from the transitions.
It is useful at times to perform several actions that would usually
close the overview (for instance launching an application) at once.
Currently we allow this by dragging items to a workspace rather than
just clicking it, but it's an odd metaphor with its own set of
problems.
Introduce an alternative approach (inspired by file selection in
file managers) by keeping the overview open if a Control key is
held down.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686984
Using the scroll wheel in the window picker should switch workspaces.
As the picker doesn't have a visible boundary though, it makes sense
to accept scroll-event for the entire overview area. Rather than
making the overview's main actor public, expose scroll-events via
a signal.

This commit updates the code to use mutter's new background
api, and changes the shell's startup animation to be closer
to the mockups.

All the complexity with a custom actor and a generic container was
just to add some padding below the overview controls. Remove that,
and use CSS instead.
