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.

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.

We have initTranslations() for binding an extension's
gettext domain, but nothing to help with using gettext
from an extension.
Such help would be useful though, as an extension that
calls textdomain() like a normal application would
inadvertently changes the default domain for the whole
gnome-shell process.
Instead, extensions have to use domain-specific versions
of the gettext functions:
```js
const Gettext = imports.gettext.domain('my-extension');
const _ = Gettext.gettext;
```
Make this a bit easier by adding those functions directly
to the extensions object when initTranslations() is called,
then expose helper functions for calling them.

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.

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.
When creating an extension interactively, we currently always use
the default template unless the --template option is used.
Instead, display the list of available templates to the user and
prompt them to pick one if it wasn't specified.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/812
When we allow users to choose between different templates, we should
provide some context for each template to facilitate that choice.
Add that metadata in the form of a .desktop file, which allows us to
specify name and description, and is well supported by our translation
infrastructure.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/812
The template used when creating a new extension is intentionally
minimal, as the sample code in the old extensions-tool proved to
be annoying more often than not.
However as we support per-command options, we don't have to limit
ourselves to a single template, and can offer alternatives for
common use cases.
To prepare for that, namespace the existing template by moving it
into a subfolder.
