The top bar's network menu only supports a subset of device types
supported by NetworkManager. While not having lesser used options
in the menu itself is perfectly reasonable, not showing any network
icon at all in the top bar when the system is fully connected is
weird.

Any network devices appear as top level items in the system status
menu, so on system with an unusually high number of devices, the
menu can end up exceeding the available screen height. While this
is a corner case, leaving important system actions unreachable is
bad. The system menu does not lend itself to scrolling, so handle
this case instead by summarizing sections ("n connections") where
the number of devices exceeds a threshold.

Currently the cache is built once when the first VPN request is
handled, so plugins that are installed or uninstalled after that
aren't picked up. Fix this by invalidating the cache on changes
to the plugin directory.

commit 1d58ea25ab changed the
popupMenu code to handle key presses on source actors directly.
This fixed keynav into the session gear menu at the login screen.
Unfortunately, it also causes spurious pop ups if a modifier happens
to be held down.
This commit checks for modifiers and short circuits the up front
key handling if any are found.

This is an implementation of the pad OSD that's been previously
present in gnome-settings-daemon. Since things are moving closer
to the compositor, it makes sense to have this implemented as shell
UI.

The lightboxes used for screen blanking are created during initialization
and shown each time the screen should blank. During the (potentially long)
time where the lightbox is hidden, any actor could be raised above the
lightbox - in particular any popup menu raises itself to the top when
opened. To not exclude those elements from screen blanking, raise the
lightbox every time it is shown.

We currently reload animated backgrounds on timezone changes, but
there are other cases where the time can change unexpectedly and
the background no longer matches the time of day. One case we can
easily handle is when coming back from suspend, so do that.

The Mozilla documentation says: "And as always when working with
reference counted NPObjects, the caller is responsible for calling
NPN_ReleaseObject on the NPObject to drop the reference."
Browsers assume that the plugin does the right thing and always call
NPN_ReleaseObject. At some point the object is released and deallocated
and both the plugin and browser still have references to the object
thinking that it's still alive. That's why the crash is sometimes in the
plugin when it tries to use the np object, and sometimes in the browser.

This might be a good fit for extension developers: With
this option one doesn't need to restart the whole Shell
in order to see their changes in effect.

Since commit 67615a0cbc, any printable key can be used to lift the
screen shield rather than just escape/enter/space. While this is
convenient for unlocking where the input is forwarded to the password
entry, it is potentially dangerous when the screen is inactive but
not locked: If the user types her password, the first character will
lift the shield and the remaining input will go to the focused window.
To prevent this from happening, only allow printable keys when the
screen is actually locked and restrict the key presses that lift the
shield to the original set of escape/enter/space otherwise.

It will only show up when a discrete GPU is available (detected through
the switcheroo-control D-Bus service), and the application hasn't
alreayd been launched.
Note that this will not currently work for D-Bus activated applications,
eg. the menu item will be available, but the environment variable will
not be passed through to D-Bus to use when launching the application.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773117
And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.

We were running the git submodule update in builddir, instead of srcdir,
which might have lead to submodules not updating, and submodule tags
being reverted to older versions in some contributions.

Apparently importers for the 'same' path are shared, even when the
relative paths resolve to different absolute ones. Until this bug
is fixed properly, we can work around this by expressing the current
extension path as the UUID relative to the parent directory.

You can define a new importer object by importing a subdirectory in GJS.
This is undocumented, but it is likely to at least hold until the whole
thing moves to ES6 modules, after which we'll be able to do this purely
in JS with Reflect.Loader.
Since this was the only thing the ShellJS library did, we can remove it
altogether.
This allows us to discontinue use of the gjs-internals-1.0 embedder API.

When the user gets long failure messages from pam, the authPrompt
message label will clip the message and ellipsize with '…'.
This commit turns off ellipsization from the label, so it will
properly wrap.

If Bluetooth is on but there aren't connected devices, the status in the
menu reads "Not in Use". This is potentially confusing: it's a negative
statement, even though Bluetooth is on. It also sits uneasily (and looks
even more confusing) next to the submenu item "Turn Off".
Changing the string to "On" is better.

This allows us to pass metadata fields besides the message
to log. So, if the log() call is made from an extension,
pass the extension name and UUID to the logger.
This is useful for extension developers to debug their code
as well as to instruct their users to send debug info to them
by running something like this:
journalctl GNOME_SHELL_EXTENSION_UUID=<extension@uuid>
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770717
Currently it's assumed only an extension can call this method. However
it can be useful if any part of the shell want to know if it was invoked
by an extension.

NM upstream would like to reduce periodic scanning, and that means
that clients should request scans themselves while their WiFi list
is open. Similar to the Windows and macOS WiFi dialogs/lists.
