Currently when the foreground service conversation stops we increase the
verification failed count and try to start it again, while if a
background service has been stopped we just ignore it.
This is causing a various number of issues, for example in the case of
the fingerprint authentication service, it is normally configured to die
after a timeout, and we end up never restarting it (while the UI still
keeps showing to the user the message about swipe/touch the device).
So, in such case let's just consider it a "soft" verification failure
that doesn't increase the failures count but will cause us to reset the
UI and try to restart the authentication (and so the affected service).

Wiggle may make the error message to be visible for less time so provide
the auth prompt an API to increase the timeout to be used for showing a
message in some cases.
This could be reworked when we'll have a proper asyn wiggle function so
that we could just make the user verifier to "freeze", then await for
the wiggle transition to complete and eventually release the verifier.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1652>
Currently whenever an authentication failure happens we wiggle the
entry, however this may not be related to the service which failed.
For example if the fingerprint authentication failed for whatever reason,
there's no point to wiggle the text input as it's something unrelated to it.
So, only apply the wiggle effect to the entry in case the failure is
coming from the querying service.

By giving to the AuthPrompt information regarding the source service
name (and so the ability to know whether it's a foreground service) can
give it the ability to behave differently.

Fingerprint PAM module can have multiple failures during a runtime
and we rely on the pam module configuration for the maximum allowed
retries.
However, while that setting should be always followed, we should never
ignore the login-screen's allowed-failures setting that can provide
a lower value.
So, once we have a fingerprint failure let's count it to increase our
internal fail counter, and when we've reached the limit we can emit a
verification-failed signal to our clients.
As per this we need also to ignore any further 'info' messages that we
could receive from the fingerprint service, as it may be configured to
handle more retries than us and they might arrive before we have
cancelled the verification session.

Decouple the verification failure count increase from
_verificationFailed as there are some cases in which we may want to
increase it without emitting a verification-failed signal.

When the login/lock screen is shown the error messages for background
services are always ignored.
However, in case the service is the fingerprint authentication method
we still want to be able to show error messages to inform the user
about what failed, and eventually that the max retries (that may be
different from the login screen configuration) has been reached.
This handles partially the design issue [1] related to the login/lock
screen fingerprint authentication.
Eventually we want to use pam extensions to use clearer and parse-able
messages, however in the case of the fingerprint service we can be sure
that the fprint PAM module will only send errors on auth failures.

When we're painting off-stage, for example because we're screencasting
or taking a screenshot, there won't be a stage-view associated with the
paint context. The BlurEffect previously didn't handle that case and
would crash.
Fix that and handle that case by assuming the scale is 1 and not
offsetting the rectangle we blit from the draw framebuffer.

Checking whether the item is empty is now the history’s job, per the
previous two commits. The history also trims the input for us.
The effect of this is that we call _history.addItem(), and thereby move
to the end of the history, even if the input is empty (or consists only
of whitespace); clearing the input field and pressing Enter becomes a
quick way to jump back to the end of the history. (The current history
item is not overwritten if the input is empty.)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1653>
This ports the runDialog changes of [1] to the underlying history
component, where they can benefit looking glass as well: the history is
now responsible for trimming the input and deciding that it shouldn’t be
stored if empty. (Note that _setPrevItem and _setNextItem already
skipped updating the history if the entry was empty.)
Since both users, runDialog and lookingGlass, also need the trimmed
input for other reasons – runDialog to avoid issues when interpreting
the command as a file path (if it can’t be executed as a command),
lookingGlass to decide whether a command should be run at all – have
addItem return the trimmed input. (runDialog and lookingGlass are not
yet changed to take advantage of this – that will be done in separate
commits.)

When verification failed using a specific authentication service we're
currently restarting the whole user authentication system, which leads
to lots of unneeded operations (reinitializing a new user verifier proxy,
restarting all the gdm workers with the relative PAM modules and so on).
And this makes also debugging of login problems more complicated, given
we're cluttering the journal with repeated data.
However, at reauthentication failure GDM has already set up for us an
user verifier that we can use reuse to start only the service that had a
failure. So when possible, just start a new service instead of rebooting
the whole authorization process.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
When retrying the authentication we should make sure that all the
previously initiated services are stopped in order to begin a new
authentication session with all the configured services.
Unfortunately at the current state we only dispose the currently used
user verifier, but we don't make it to stop all the relative gdm workers
and then they'll stay around potentially blocking any further usage of
them (as it happens with the fingerprint one, that has unique access to
the device).
So, cancel the currently running authentication before starting a new
one if we're explicitly retrying.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
In case a background service such as the fingerprint authentication
fails to start we'd just mark the whole authentication process as
failed.
Currently this may happen by just putting a wrong password when an user
has some fingerprints enrolled, the fingerprint gdm authentication
worker may take some time to restart leading to a failure and this is
currently also making the password authentication to fail:

Given that background services are ignored even for queries or any kind
of message, we should not fail the authentication request unless the
default service fails.

When a verification session has failed we may want to wait for the user
to have completed all the waiting queries and to have read all the
incoming messages, however during such time an user verifier should
not be allowed to queue further messages to the UI, as we're about to
completely stop the identification or start a new one.
Unfortunately this is not true because we're still connected to the
identifier signals, and so we may still show messages.
This is particularly true when using the fingerprint PAM module as it
may restart the authentication while we're in the process of stopping
it.
So, keep track of all the signals we've connected to, and disconnect on
verification failed and during cancel/clear operations.

Answering a query may be delayed to the moment in which we've not any
more messages in the queue, however this case can also happen just after
we've cleared the UserVerifier and in such case we'd have nothing to
answer, but we currently throw an error:
JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: no-more-messages:

So handle this case more gracefully keeping track of the current

a query or do a delayed action.

As per previous commit the user can cancel an ongoing authentication via
Escape key and that will always send the user back to the clock view in
lockscreen or user-selection view in login prompt.
However, we can be a little more permissive and don't switch view to be
able to restart the authentication without further action.
To avoid this to be abused though, we consider the user verification
cancellation via escape key to be a "soft-failure", so once the
configured "allowed-failures" gsettings value has been reached, we'd
just act as before, ignoring any further request (until we don't get
back to the user auth view).
In this way we still make brute-force attacks harder to do, while still
giving the well-behaving user some ability to fix mistakes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
Escape key is supposed to cancel a verification, however if the user
already hit Enter to begin the authentication the Escape key won't work
until the verification completed.
This may be quite inconvenient when an user did a typo while writing and
wants to cancel the already started auth.
So, while authenticating (or in general while the entry is unsensitive)
give the key focus to the authpromt itself so that we can still get the
input events and cancel an user action.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
When a cancel event in the user lockscreen happens we first emit a reset
signal and immediately a cancelled one.
This lead to start a new gdm worker for each enabled authentication
method and then immediately to stop it.
As per the previous commit, we don't have anymore dangling gdm workers
around, but still we should not even start a new one in such case.
So, when the user explicitly cancelled the authentication session, first
emit a cancelled event and only emit a reset event with a begin request
if we are outside the lockscreen.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1622>
When we cancel an user authentication via Escape key or cancel button on
AuthPrompt we reset the view and we emit a 'cancelled' signal that leads
to destroying the auth prompt and the user verifier.
However, the verifier may still have an operation in progress and its
completion may take some time (as in the case of gdm-fingerprint), but
we just leave the gdm worker running until its pam module completes
(potentially never) clearing and disposing its handle.
So, instead of just clearing the verify, actually cancel and clear it.
In case the user verifier is set, clearing the relevant data will happen
anyway as part of the cancel() call.
Ideally this would have been handled by gdm itself, but unfortunately we
can't fix it there because the verifier itself is a class generated by
gdbus-codegen, so we can't handle this automatically on disposal nor we
can automatically monitor when the caller proxy is stopped on our side.

Scaling the icons all the way from/to 0 is a relatively big transition,
which is fairly distracting when playing simultaneously for multiple
previews after reaching the WINDOW_PICKER state.
Instead, tie the scale to the overview state itself, so that the animations
runs in parallel.

Back when the Dash was vertical, the size of each item was calculated
solely based on the available height. After making the Dash horizontal,
this was swapped by the available width. However, when the height of the
Dash decreases, the current code results in never scaling them up ever
again.
Fix that by making ControlsManagerLayout explicitly pass the maximum Dash
sizes. Remove the 'notify::width' handler that served the same purpose.
