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 is what most GNOME modules now use instead of a shell script,
which makes sense given that the build system itself is written
in python.
This particular copy comes from nautilus ...

The gnome-extensions tool code is really independent from the rest of the
code base, and could be used either as part of the gnome-shell build or as
stand-alone project (for example for the extension-ci docker image).
We can actually support both cases by moving the code to a subproject.

Make gjs to compute the GType name for registered GObject-derived
classes using the file basename and the first directory name, so that we
can avoid name clashing, and ensure that no extension will break the
shell by registering a name that is already used (by the shell or by any
other extension).
This requires gjs commit 02568304 [1] that will be part of release 3.35.2,
so bump the required version as gjs does post-release version bumps.

Extensions are uploaded to extensions.gnome.org as zip files that
not only contain the extension sources, but also compiled GSettings
schemas and message catalogues. To make this more convenient, add
a corresponding command for creating an archive suitable for up-
loading.

While we don't actually require a more recent version at build time,
we do need the latest stable version at runtime. There's no strong
reason for making that differentiation, so bump the requirement.

The browser plugin is crashy and broken; there are dozens of bugs filed
against it on Bugzilla and nobody is looking at them. Chrome and Firefox
have both dropped support for NPAPI plugins. Epiphany still has support,
but it's hidden behind a gsetting and all the UI to enable it has been
removed, so very few users would be able to figure out how to enable.
I've even previously considered blacklisting this plugin in the past due
to all the crashes.
Since this plugin has not actually worked in any browsers for a long
time now, time to delete it.
