Now that the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions interface exposes the
disable-user-extensions setting on D-Bus, we can use that instead
of the shell's GSettings.
In a future where we distribute the app separately as flatpak, this
will require one less hole in the sandbox.

Using the "regular" loadInterfaceXML() helper means less code duplication,
but it also ties us to the resource used by gnome-shell.
In order to untangle the extension app from core gnome-shell, change that
to load the interface from the existing data resource instead. While that
does involve reimplementing loadInterfaceXML(), it's not too bad actually
with the resource-loading code stripped (as the data resource is already
loaded by the package module).

We want to make the extensions app code more self-contained to make it
easier to build separately, and ultimately make it available on flathub.
One complication we are facing is that it is currently all over the source
tree:
- js/extensionPrefs for the main code
- src for the launcher process
- data for .desktop file and icons
Switching from a C launcher to the imports.package module allows us to
consolidate the first two, and will also take care of the annoying
setup bits (defining JS search path, extending GI lookup, loading
resources).

Extension updates are installed at startup, so any errors that bubble
up uncaught will prevent the startup to complete.
While the most likely error reason was addressed in the previous commit
(pending update for a no-longer exitent extension), it makes sense to
catch any kind of corrupt updates to not interfere with shell startup.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2343
When an extension is uninstalled, there is no point in keeping
a pending update: If the update didn't fail (which it currently
does), we would end up sneakily reinstalling the extension.

Doing blocking IO in a graphical UI is bad, doing it in the compositor
is much much worse. So even if handling VPN requests is a relatively
rare event, doing it asynchronously is better.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2386
While we can use the libnm API directly from JS, the call will
synchronously load the VPN service descriptions from disk.
Previously we were lowering the impact by caching the result,
but as we stopped doing that, it becomes more important to address
the issue properly and move it off to a thread.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2386
libnm doesn't only search for plugins in the regular VPN plugin directory,
but also in the legacy location and the directory pointed to by the
NM_VPN_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable (if set).
We don't monitor the additional directories, so it's possible for our cache
to become outdated.
Instead of trying to play catch-up with libnm's internals, do what nm-applet
does and use the appropriate API to look up the plugin on each request.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2386
checkForUpdates() will currently always query the server for updates,
even when passing an empty vardict of installed extensions. We know
there won't be any updates in that case, so avoid a pointless network
request.

There are two ways for applications to provide a high contrast icon:
1. install an icon into the HighContrast theme
2. install a symbolic icon into the default hicolor theme
The latter is preferred nowadays, and implemented in the high-contrast
CSS variant by enforcing the symbolic icon style.
However together with the way we currently enable/disable high-contrast,
this can lead to the following race:
1. the GTK theme is changed from HighContrast
2. we reload the default stylesheet
3. the icon style changes to "regular", so we request a
new icon from the HighContrast icon theme
4. the icon theme is changed from HighContrast
5. we evict existing icons from the cache
6. we reload icons for the new icon theme; however as we
find a pending request (from 3), we re-use it
7. the request from 3 finishes, and we end up with a
wrong icon in the cache
The simplest fix is to change the icon theme before the GTK theme: Unlike the
theme name, the icon style is encoded in the cache key, so we won't re-use
an old (and incorrect) request in that case.

When launching the default calendar application, we special-case
evolution to make sure it starts up with the calendar component.
This is currently broken in two ways:
- evolution changed its .desktop file to use reverse DNS notation
- as evolution can now be distributed via flatpak, we can no longer
assume that 'evolution-calendar.desktop' exists when evolution does
(even though we ship the .desktop file ourselves, it is considered
invalid if the executable isn't found)

At least for the time being, this looks like the easiest option to
launch the service:
- we could add a systemd unit, but then we'd need to update the
RequiredComponents in the fallback session definition as well,
making it necessary for gnome-shell, gnome-shell-extensions and
gnome-session to be updated to 3.36.1 in lockstep
- autostart is problematic as it would make gnome-shell conflict
with other notification daemons; also autostart is most useful
with automatic shutdown, which would require tracking signal
subscriber to determine when the service is unused

Add a small service that exposes the Fdo notification API under the
well-known name, and forwards any requests to the actual implementation
in the shell.
That way any app with permission to talk to org.freedesktop.Notifications
will get exactly that, and nothing more.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/547
For sandboxed apps, permission to talk to org.freedesktop.Notifications
looks innocent enough. However as all exported services share the same
connection to the session bus, that permission actually grants an app
access to *any* shell D-Bus API.
While we want apps to use the notification portal, it is still common
for apps to use libnotify, raw D-Bus calls or even notify-send.
We don't want to give those apps a way to circumvent most of the sandbox
restrictions, so stop owning the org.freedesktop.Notifications name.
In a next step we will implement a separate notification-daemon that
exposes the API on the well-known address and proxies any requests to
the real implementation in gnome-shell.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/547
There are a couple of D-Bus services that are currently provided by
gnome-shell for which it makes sense to move them fully or partially
into separate processes:
- screen recording (performance)
- FDO notifications (security)
- Extensions (portalization)
Add some base classes and build system glue to take care of the
common boilerplate.

This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.
To simplify maintenance, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.
Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.
Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we ever come across it.

Commit 88ac339774 changed StEntry behavior so the text hint would
stay visible while focused, as long as the text buffer is empty.
However, IMs that use preedit still should count as "started typing",
while the text buffer is still officially empty.
To fix this, check on st_entry_update_hint_visibility() that there's
indeed no preedit buffer before showing the hint. We can't directly
listen to internal preedit buffer changes in ClutterText, so handle
preedit buffer updates through the ::cursor-changed signal that will
be indirectly emitted.

These paths are meant for Xwayland, not for X11 compositors being restarted
through alt-f2 + r. Maybe some signal analogous to init-xserver should be
added for Xwayland shutdown paths, but this signal we are currently
listening for is backend agnostic.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2329
st_texture_cache_bind_weak_notify calls g_clear_signal_handler which
then calls st_texture_cache_free_bind. st_texture_cache_free_bind frees
the bind structure, so by the time g_clear_signal_handler tries to write
bind->notify_signal_id, bind has already been freed.
Fix this by using g_signal_handler_disconnect instead.

Since the FolderViews are not connected to the "installed-changed"
signal, we need to reload their apps by calling _redisplay() when an app
is removed or installed. We can't connect to "installed-changed" inside
FolderView because we need to ensure _redisplay() of the FolderView is
called before AppView tries to access the apps of the folder inside
_refilterApps(). So reload the FolderViews inside AllViews _redisplay()
implementation to ensure everything is up to date before accessing the
apps of the folder.
Since the "apps-changed" signal of FolderIcon now indirectly triggers a
_redisplay() of the FolderViews, the 'changed' handler of FolderView is
now redundant and can be removed. Because of this, we also need to move
the emission of the "apps-changed" signal to the start of the signal
handler to make sure the view is updated before we try to access items
of the view.
