75f86a6f60 screencastService: Propagate machine-parseable error types to gnome-shell
We'll be using hardware encoding for screencasts soon, so we'll likely see
more things go wrong in the future, including crashes of the whole
screencastService. To deal with this, we'll introduce logic to blocklist
certain recording pipelines in case of failure and also add some logic
to retry the recording automatically.

To allow for better messaging to the user in those failure cases, we want
to be aware in gnome-shell, what exactly the error in the recorder was.

So propagate the most common types of errors that can happen in the
ScreencastService to gnome-shell using the new DBusError module.

c494597a91 screencastService: Signal errors via the internal dbus interface
Make sure gnome-shell gets notified of errors that happen during screen
recording using the screencastService, so that it can properly notify the
user about the error and tear down its state, too.

f266c2ca15 screenshot: Move HAVE_RECORDER check into screencast service
Some gstreamer plugins require a connection to the display server,
so if we end up initializing gstreamer before we are ourselves
fully initialized, we may end up with a locked compositor.

Avoid this by moving the runtime recorder check into the screencast
D-Bus service, so that all gstreamer calls happen out of process.

a76b28bd72 data: Move D-Bus interface descriptions into a subdir
We'll soon move the inlined XML of all interfaces we export or consume into
separate files. That's a significant increase from the interfaces for which
we install documentation, so it makes sense to use a dedicated subdir.
