Clutter's backend code depends on MetaBackend now, which makes it
impossible to initialize without resorting to private mutter API.
Luckily we only need Clutter for interactive tests which are broken
anyway, as Clutter.main() and friends were removed a while ago.
So for now, get at least unit tests working again by simply the
unnecessary Clutter initialization.

When running with Valgrind, this helps us ensure that we're managing
memory correctly. We need to GC twice as finalizing an object in the
sweep can unroot objects which were already marked. Technically, it
could be that we'll need to GC more than twice, but GCing twice should
hopefully last us for now.

The js modules have so many imports back and forth that it's pretty
much guaranteed that if you import even one of them, you'll end up
importing all of them, including ui.status.bluetooth and
ui.status.network. So fix up the typelib include paths the same way
gnome-shell-jhbuild does, so we can find everything.

Move some more environment-initializationy stuff from main.js to
environment.js, and be more careful about not importing shell JS
modules until after the environment has been fully patched.
Change gnome-shell-plugin to call Environment.init() before
Main.start(); this means that Environment.init() now runs before any
shell JS modules (besides environment itself) have been imported.
Make run-js-test create a ShellGlobal and use its js_context, so that
the shell_global_set_property_mutable() stuff in Environment.init()
will work correctly in tests as well.

clutter_init() fails under normal circumstances like
being unable to open a display connection, so it shouldn't
be handled with g_error() producing a core dump.
Clutter consistently produces an error message when
clutter_init() fails, so we don't need to print out any
error message.

ST makes use of GTK+ for input methods and for icon themes; therefore
we have need to initialize GTK+ in order to test these parts of Clutter.
Instead of LD_PRELOADING our module, use a separately compiled executable
that links to the UI components in GNOME Shell, initializes Clutter and
GTK+ and hooks them together.
Getting all the symbols from St and the GUI components exported for
use via GJS requires a bit of contortion: we need to actually link the
St convenience library into a shared library and link the executable
to that since there is no way with libtool to take a convenience library
and put all its symbols into an executable --whole-archive style.
