a8a79c0333 extensionsService: Log error if preferences dialog failed to open
This is helpful for continuous integration checks to see whether the
preferences dialog of an extension can be opened successfully.

53dd291aba extensionsService: Really fix copying technical details
gdk_clipboard_set_text() is not introspectable, we have to use
gdk_clipboard_set_value() (shadowed as gdk_clipboard_set())
instead.

1b5d71130e extensionsService: Fix copying technical details when extension crashes
This was forgotten when porting to GTK 4, leading to the following error
when user tries to copy the error message produced by an extension:

	JS ERROR: TypeError: Gtk.Clipboard is undefined

a32df6b7a3 extensionsService: Fix setting prefs dialog parent
Between the GTK4 port and the latest GTK4 version, calling realize()
on a newly created window to force its surface to be created stopped
working.

So instead, wait for the window to get realized regularly to set its
parent.

edd34c50d9 Port extensions app and portal to GTK4
With the previous preparations in place, it is time to take the plunge.

As both the app and the portal use the same small library for handling
external windows, port everything at once to avoid the hassle of building
and installing two versions of the library.

With the portal using GTK4 now, all extensions must port their preference
widgets as well.

99a796e426 dbusServices/extensions: Stop stacking frames
We currently use separate frames for the details expander and the
expanded details. That layout works as long as frames are boxy (as
in the default GTK3 style), but breaks down with rounded corners
(as in the default GTK4 style).

In order to work with either style, adapt the layout to use a single
surrounding frame and appropriate borders as separator.

1016b919f0 dbusServices/extensions: Stop using GtkContainer API
The interface has been removed in GTK4, so use widget-specific API
for adding children where possible.

9d14b0c682 dbusServices/extensions: Set title on window instead of headerbar
GTK4 will remove the GtkHeaderBar:title property, so stop using it
and set the window's title property instead, as that's what headbars
use in both GTK3 and GTK4 unless explicitly overridden.

a90fcb7ddb dbusServices/extensions: Handle parentWindow parameter
Now that the service implements the preference dialog, it's time
to support OpenExtensionPrefs()'s parentWindow parameter and make
the dialog a transient of the external window if specified.

34e85342d8 dbusServices/extensions: Take over prefs dialog from app
As outlined earlier, in order to turn the Extensions app into a properly
sandboxed application, we need to split out the extension prefs dialog
and move it elsewhere.

With "elsewhere" being the new Extensions D-Bus service, effectively
turning it into a shell extensions portal.

91b7474d5a dbusServices/extensions: Proxy Extensions API
Similar to the previously added org.freedesktop.Notifications proxy,
this exposes the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions API and forwards any
request to the real implementation in gnome-shell.

The motivation differs though: We want to be able to package the
extension app as flatpak and distribute it separately, but the
extension prefs dialog is hard to impossible to sandbox:

 - filenames need translating between host and sandbox, and we
   can only do that in some cases (serializing/deserializing
   extensions), but not others (extension settings that refer
   to files)

 - system extensions install their GSettings schemas in the system
   path; the best we can do there is assume a host prefix of /usr
   and set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR in the flatpak (eeks)

 - extensions may rely on additional typelibs that are present on
   the host (for example because gnome-shell itself depends on
   them), but not inside the sandbox - unless we bundle all of
   gnome-shell's dependencies

 - if gjs/mozjs differ between host and sandbox, extensions must
   handle different runtimes for the extension and its prefs

And all those issues occur despite a very permissive sandbox (full
host filesystem access, full dconf access, full org.gnome.Shell
access (including Eval()!)).

This new service will give us an alternative place for handling
the preference dialog:

 - it runs outside of gnome-shell process, so can open windows

 - it runs on the host, so the extension's prefs get to run
   in the same namespace as the extension itself

That is, the service will provide portal-like functionality (albeit
not using the org.freedesktop.portal.* namespace, as extension
management is an inherently privileged operation).
