We got rid of all uses of extension utils code in the gnome-shell
process itself, and everything that is now using it - including
extensions - is already loaded as module.
We can therefore quickly move the file to ESM, which will help
a bit with upcoming changes.

gi modules are always loaded (there is no API for "set version without
loading"), so
we need to break dependencies.js into three sections:
- Required
- Compile-time optional
- Runtime optional
Required dependencies are always imported, compile-time optional
dependencies
are loaded if gnome-shell is compiled with support for them, and for
runtime optional dependencies we catch any errors when attempting to
load them.
If runtime optional dependencies fail to load we log a debug-level
message.

Removes the init() function in favor of executing all environment
changes when the file is imported.
Additionally ports all unit tests using imports.gi.environment.init() to
use the updated module.

We want to replace gjs' custom (and now legacy) imports system
with standard EcmaScript modules: JS developers are already
familiar with them, they have better tooling support and using
standard features over non-standard ones is generally the right
thing to do.
Our D-Bus services are separate from the main process, and thus
can be ported separately (except for the few imports that are
shared with the main process' code base).

GJS added a console module that extensions may start using. To ensure that
extensions using console.log() and similar functions don't show up as
'Gjs-Console' in users' system logs, we should call setConsoleLogdomain()
with 'GNOME Shell'.
This GJS API addition is only accessible using ECMAScript Modules (ESM),
this commit moves shell startup to a small init.js module and adapts
CI jobs to either handle or ignore it.
We can drop the .jscheckignore file when future versions of SpiderMonkey
allow for compile checks without validating module specifiers.
