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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some (newer?) GCC versions complain when a g_auto variable isn't
initialized when declared, even when the initialization is guaranteed
to happen before the variable is used or goes out of scope.

Now that Xwayland startup is asynchronous, the function may be called
before X11 is available, resulting in a crash.
Fix this by only managing the tray immediately if we already have an
X11 display, and wait for it to be set up otherwise.
Likewise, unmanage the screen when X11 becomes unavailable.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2308
Since support for legacy status icons is implemented by extensions
nowadays, they need to undo the call to manage_screen() when they
are disabled.
Right now that means bypassing garbage collection with an explicit
call to run_dispose() on the Shell.TrayManager. That works, but is
rather ugly.
An explicit unmanage_screen() method is a nicer option, and will be
useful to us as well to deal with X11 going away (once Xwayland
crashes don't bring down the entire session).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2308
NaTrayManager in particular is deeply tied to X11. We currently assume
that X11 support is always available, but that is already not true
anymore - Xwayland startup is now asynchronous.
It will be even less true once we handle Xwayland crashes gracefully.
Start addressing that by not creating the corresponding resources once
and assume they exist for the lifetime of Shell.TrayManager, but make
sure they exist when actually needed.

The g_file_replace_contents_async() API can potentially call fsync() from
the thread calling into it upon completion. This can have disasterous
effects when run from the compositor main thread such as complete stalls.
This is a followup to 86a00b6872 which
assumed (like the rest of us) that the fsync() would be performed on the
thread that was doing the I/O operations.
You can verify this with an strace -e fsync and cause terminal to display
a command completed notification (eg: from a backdrop window).
This also fixes a lifecycle bug for the variant, as
g_file_replace_contents_async() does not copy the data during the operation
as that is the responsibility of the caller. Instead, we just use a GBytes
variant and reference the variant there.

Implement ClutterActorClass.has_accessible() to ensure that CallyActor does not
recreate accessibles during the removal/destruction of an actor. This relies
on GNOME/mutter!1083 for the ClutterActorClass.has_accessible virtual function.
Running GNOME Shell for about 30 seconds results in a difference between
the two runs.
Before:
ALLOCATED TOTAL FUNCTION
[ 52.2 KiB] [ 0.05%] cally_actor_real_remove_actor
[ 36.3 KiB] [ 0.04%] st_widget_get_accessible
[ 9.8 KiB] [ 0.01%] atk_gobject_accessible_for_object
[ 3.2 KiB] [ 0.00%] g_signal_emit_by_name
[ 2.9 KiB] [ 0.00%] clutter_actor_get_children
After:
ALLOCATED TOTAL FUNCTION
[ 1.8 KiB] [ 0.00%] cally_actor_real_remove_actor
[ 1.1 KiB] [ 0.00%] clutter_actor_get_children
[ 659 bytes] [ 0.00%] g_signal_emit_by_name
Obviously 50KiB isn't a huge savings.
Although fixing things to avoid re-entrancy on destruction can be very useful
from a correctness standpoint.

ShellStack implements custom focus navigation, and will only ever
navigate into its top-most child. That kind of makes sense as long
as that child is actually visible, but not when it is hidden.
Descend into the stack to look for a focusable child instead.

If we modify the paint volume to make it larger and include the blur
radius, we should also use the gained size and draw something there.
Since the framebuffers are only the size of the actor to blur, we're not
doing that right now anyway, so remove the vfunc override.

Use the shader for linear sampling and incremental calculation of the
gaussian kernel values as it was implemented by Patrick Walton in
webrender.
The sigma value for the blur (the standard deviation) is calculated by
taking the blur radius and dividing it by 3, this value is used by most
implementations of gaussian blurs since it covers a high percentage of
the gaussian shape.
The linear sampling optimization is implemented by skipping every second
texel (i += 2) in the for-loop that's sampling adjacent texels.

Floor the downscaled size of the new framebuffer to make sure we don't
initialize a framebuffer with a floating point value that might be
interpreted wrong by `cogl_texture_2d_new_with_size` and end up with a
slightly wrong aspect ratio of the framebuffer.
This fixes situations where the widths or heights of downscaled
framebuffers sometimes miss some pixels at the border.
While at it, remove the `downscale_factor` argument from
`setup_projection_matrix` since that function doesn't need the initial
size of the actor anyway.

The used_scales hash table uses g_double_hash and g_double_equal which
try to read a double from the passed pointers. The pointers however were
pointing to a float, leading to an invalid read.

`gnome-shell-perf-tool` is initially designed to run on X11, using the
`--replace` option which does not work when gnome-shell is a Wayland
compositor.
A solution would be to run `gnome-shell-perf-tool` in place of just
`gnome-shell` to run the entire perf session under Wayland, but the
script `gnome-shell-perf-tool` does not spawn `gnome-shell` as a Wayladn
compositor, so that fails as well.
Add a `--wayland` option to `gnome-shell-perf-tool` so that it can
optionally spawn gnome-shell as a Wayland compositor so the whole perf
tool can be starred from a console with:
```
$ dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell-perf-tool --wayland
```
Alternatively, for testing purposes, it can also be started nested with:
```
$ dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell-perf-tool --nested
```
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2139https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/941
On Wayland, the display server is the Wayland compositor, i.e.
`gnome-shell` itself.
As a result, we cannot spawn `gnome-shell-perf-helper` before
`gnome-shell` is started, as `gnome-shell-perf-helper` needs to connect
to the display server.
So, instead of spawning `gnome-shell-perf-helper` from the perf tool,
start it from `gnome-shell` itself.

For window-backed apps (read: windows we can't match to a .desktop
file), we use the window's icon property as icon. However there is
no such property on wayland (at least in the protocols we support),
so we end up with a blank actor in that case.
Do better than that, and pick a generic fallback icon instead.

Notifying the "text" property inside `st_entry_set_text()` misses all
the text changes done by ClutterText itself, including those that happen
on key-presses. Fix that by notifying that property inside the
"notify::text" handler connected to the ClutterText.

Also show the hint actor of an StEntry while the entry is focused but
has no text inside it. This is part of the new dialog and lock-screen
design where there are no labels before entries anymore and labels are
instead shown as a hint-text of the entry.

set_fallback_icon_name() leaks a GIcon by using the set_icon method
which adds a ref to the GIcon without removing its own ref after calling
the method.

St has the regular abstractions to handle actors that are bigger
than their parent could handle: StScrollable, StScrollView, and
StAdjustment.
However, the only StScrollable implementation available currently
is StBoxLayout, which forces a ClutterBoxLayout as the layout
manager (and relies on it not being unset).
Introduce StViewport, which is a minimal StScrollable implementation
that doesn't rely on any specific layout manager.

Don't try to create a GIcon if the given icon name is empty, it will
lead to failure when loading the icon anyway, instead set the gicon to
