ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

As strings are guaranteed to use UTF-8 in the GNOME platform, generic
file APIs like g_file_load_contents() return raw data instead. Since
gjs' recent update to mozjs60, this data is now returns as Uint8Array
which cannot simply be treated as string - its toString() method boils
down to arr.join(',') - so use gjs' new ByteArray module to explicitly
convert the data.

The idea behind always showing the icon on the login screen is that
the users' needs aren't known at that point. However we can achieve
the same behavior by including the 'always-show-universal-access-status'
key in GDM's presets, so drop the special-case.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788943
Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785084
The asynchronous nature of extension loading, session loading, and more,
makes the code racy as to what is initialized first, and hard to debug.
Additionally, since gjs is single-threaded, the only code we're running
in a thread anyway is readdir, which is going to be I/O bound, so the
code here is actually likely to be faster.
Drop this in favor of some good old fashioned synchronous loading.
Swap out the implementation of SystemIndicator with a dummy,
and build the aggregate menu. At the same time, remove the
poweroff and login screen menus, as those were fake aggregate
menus beforehand.
We lose some flexibility as we lose session-mode-based menu
layout, but as each component of the aggregate menu is supposed
to be "smart" in response to updating itself when session
state changes, I believe it's better than a declarative model.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705845
This will allow the use of mode-specific defaults. For classic mode
we currently implement this with mini-extensions, but this may result
in confusing behavior when settings change due to extensions being
disabled during screen locks (not to mention that those mini-extensions
are hardly an elegant approach).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701717
Our built-in screen recorder is implemented as a component, so it will
just be disabled when the session mode doesn't allow screencasting.
However we will expose screencasting functionality on DBus as well, and
while it makes sense to restrict its availablity to the same modes as
the existing recorder, exporting/unexporting the service depending on
the session mode is not very consumer friendly.
For that reason, add an additional 'allowScreencast' property that for now
mirrors the availability of the 'recorder' component.

There is no reason why there shouldn't be a battery icon in initial-setup,
knowing how much battery you have left is useful in during setup as well.
This also fixes an exception in the lock screen caused by the combined icon
not finding the battery one.

Defining a mode that differs significantly from the default one
can get rather cumbersome. For convenience, allow mode definitions
to inherit from an existing mode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689308
As currently envisioned, the fallback replacement in 3.8 should be
a separate session at the login screen. As we will use extensions
to implement this mode, we need a way to specify extensions per
session rather than per user, so add a session-mode property for
extensions that should be loaded in addition to the user-defined
ones.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689305
Currently adding a new session mode requires patching the sources.
As defining custom modes can be desirable in some circumstances
(for instance for administrators of kiosk setups), load additional
modes from JSON files.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689304
The panel should change appearance according to the sessionMode,
so add a new panelStyle sessionMode property which allows to
specify a mode specific style class for the panel actors.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684573
The original condition the property was based on was added to make
the a11y switcher available in the login screen, though it did never
work properly - after popping up the switcher, additional tab key
presses were ignored. As we are now able to filter bindings much more
selectively, we can simplify the check and drop the sessionMode property.

GDM has a 'logo' key in its schema to allow distributors to add
some branding. It is currently placed above the user list, which
no longer works too well since the login screen lost its dialog
window. Display the logo in the top-left corner instead of the
Activities button instead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685852
Have distinct session modes for the lock screen and the unlock dialog,
and rework the logic in ScreenShield to have the lock-screen mode stack
onto the unlock-dialog mode (where applicable)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682542
With the recent session mode changes, there is now a mix of modes
that are meant to apply to the entire session (specified as parameter
to the --mode command line switch) and temporary modes like the lock
screen; introduce a property to make the difference explicit, and only
allow "primary" modes to be specified on the command line.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683488
Have main.js call .showDialog() when going back from the lock-screen, instead
of using the return value of createUnlockDialog to know if the dialog
was persistent.
_keepDialog is still used as LoginDialog cannot really be destroyed,
and cancelling it does not destroy it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683156
It makes more sense to define session modes in terms of what you're
adding to the bare shell, not in terms of what you're taking away
from the user session.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683156
Components are pieces of the shell code that can be added/removed
at runtime, like extension, but are tied more directly to a session
mode. The session polkit agent, the network agent, autorun/automount,
are all components, keyring, recorder and telepathy client are all
now copmonents.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683156
Since we eventually want to add a system for changing the top panel
contents depending on the current state of the shell, let's use the
"session mode" feature for this, and add a mechanism for updating the
session mode at runtime. Add support for every key besides the two
functional keys, and make all the components update automatically when the
session mode is changed. Add a new lock-screen mode, and make the lock
screen change to this when locked.
