The gnome-shell-calendar-server calls to refresh queries even when it
has no time range set, which results in:
a) waste of resources (for example after login),
b) many runtime warnings in the journalctl log, related to
incorrect time range being used.

Meson is on track to replace autotools as the build system of choice,
so support it in addition to autotools. If all goes well, we'll
eventually be able to drop the latter ...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783229
Otherwise UTC is used which results in a different interpretation of
floating time events. This then could lead to a mismatch with events
generated e_cal_client_generate_instances_sync() which always uses the
default timezone. Such a mismatch would then cause constant invalidation
and reloading.

intltool is unmaintained nowadays while upstream gettext gained
support for formats like GSettings schemas and .desktop files,
and offers a mechanism to teach it about other XML formats not
yet supported out of the box which we can use for the rest.
So there's nothing stopping us, just make the switch ...

In commit 7e0e224e0, when moving from e_cal_recur_generate_instances()
to e_cal_client_generate_instances(), the return value of the
ECalRecurInstanceFn callback was accidentally removed; add it
back.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769156
Instead of querying the client for a list of objects and using
e_cal_recur_generate_instances() to get occurrences for each of
them, we can use e_cal_client_generate_instances_sync() which
combines the functionality of both functions. This doesn't only
save us some lines of code (yay!), but also gives us access to
the real recurrence ID of an event, so we can get rid of the hack
of faking one.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748226
We use the triplet of source ID, UID and recurrence ID to create
an ID to unambiguously identify an event, which we use to implement
hiding dismissed events from the calendar. However we currently
try to fetch the recurrence ID from the objects returned by
e_cal_client_get_object_list_sync(), which are always the primary
events with no recurrence ID. Instead, we need a recurrence ID
associated with each occurrence.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748226
Each event returned by GetEvents includes the (currently unused)
UID, which is not always enough to unambiguously identify an event
(different calendar sources, recurring events, ...).
As we will start using the property to record events that have been
dismissed and should be persistently hidden from the calendar, change
it to a truly unique ID.

g_dbus_proxy_new() (and library calls that wrap it) has an hardcoded
timeout of 25 seconds, which is insufficient for starting up e-s-r
in certain setups. Avoid a timeout error by starting the service
manually with a longer timeout before hand.
Also demote the error to a warning + exit failure instead of
a crash, to avoid triggering abrt reports.

The libedataserverui dependency is a relic of the old E-D-S API.
As of 3.6.0, E-D-S now centralizes authentication prompts so clients
don't have to display their own. This also allows trading the GTK+
main loop for a plain GMainLoop in gnome-shell-calendar-server.c.

When selecting "Open Calendar" in the date menu, the configured
application is launched via command line, so we don't get any
startup notification. In order to fix the issue at least for our
default calendar, add a hidden .desktop file for evolution's
calendar component.

Right now, we are hard-depending on the presence of Evolution by
using its settings schemas. This is likely to be unpopular, and
also causes instability if someone happens not to have Evolution
installed, so install a schema that has the same data path as
the Evolution schema, but a different name and install that
for the keys we need.
To avoid a string-freeze break, we rely on the translations in
Evolution - if Evolution isn't installed, the key descriptions
will be untranslated in dconf-editor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674424
Evolution now stores its selected calendars and tasks in GSettings, not
in GConf. If we don't look at the new location, then we'll not pick up
newly added and enabled calendars, making the calendar effectively not
work for new installs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673610
If evolution-data-server needs to prompt for a password, it will try
to pop up a GTK+ dialog. When GTK+ is not initialized, the result is
a crash. So, initialize GTK+ and run a main loop.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809681
The result is ugly since we have a Gnome-shell-calendar-server fallback
application, but I don't think it's worth installing a desktop file
and having a string break, since this is pretty uncommon (only for
manually added calendars without the password stored in gnome-keyring),
and apparently this is being rewritten for 3.5 to have the dialogs come
the e-d-s daemon rather than from the individual application.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673608
ECal is deprecated and replaced by ECalClient. This has the
advantage of using e_utils to handle authentication, and should
fix NotOpened errors (that affect in particular webcal calendars
prior to evolution running)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671177
Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.
