This behavior dates back all the way to the original gnome-shell
release, and it did make sense at the time:
- we were first to make notifications persistent instead of
closing them after a timeout; apps were therefore used to
treat notifications as fire-and-forget instead of closing
them when no longer relevant
- neither web notifications not portals did exist yet, so the
D-Bus API was only used directly, instead of as a backend
for other APIs; as a result, focusing the app was more likely
than not to put the source of the event that the user was
notified about into view
Nowadays both persistent notifications and web notifications
are wide-spread, so the original reasons no longer apply.
This change helps web notifications in particular, as it reduces
the differences between XDG and portal-based implementations.

We have made good progress on object literals as well, although there
are still a lot that use the old style, given how ubiquitous object
literals are.
But the needed reindentation isn't overly intrusive, as changes are
limited to the object literals themselves (i.e. they don't affect
surrounding code).
And given that object literals account for quite a bit of the remaining
differences between regular and legacy rules, doing the transition now
is still worthwhile.

It's unfortunate that we cannot fully embrace template strings, but
we aren't limited to "legacy" formatting either; replace the last
remaining places where we still use string concatenation to reduce
the difference between regular and legacy style a bit.

Unlike the desktop-entry hint, the app name is not optional. That
doesn't mean that we'll be able to match it to a .desktop file,
but we can at least try if we fail to match on PID or desktop-entry.

For fd.o notifications, we are taking the sender's PID into
account when associating notifications with sources (mainly
to deal with notify-send).
This broke when the implementation under the well-known name
was moved into a separate service, as the implementation in
gnome-shell will now always see the public notification-daemon
as sender.
Restore the old behavior by resolving the sender PID in the
separate service, and pass it as hint to the implementation
in gnome-shell.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
We are currently inconsistent whether to put the operators in front
of the corresponding line or at the end of the preceding one. The
most dominant style for now is to put condition and first branch on
the same line, and then align the second branch:
let foo = condition ? fooValue
: notFooValue;
Unfortunately that's a style that eslint doesn't support, so to account
for it, our legacy configuration currently plainly ignores all indentation
in conditionals.
In order to drop that exception and not let messed up indentation slip
through, change all ternary operators to the non-legacy style.

An Endless OS system was found in the wild with a malformed
.local/share/gnome-shell/notifications which causes _loadNotifications()
to raise an exception. This exception was not previously handled and
bubbles all the way out to gnome_shell_plugin_start(), whereupon the
shell exit(1)s. The user could no longer log into their computer.
Handle exceptions from _loadNotifications(), log them, and attempt to
continue. Ensure that this._isLoading is set to 'false' even on error,
so that future calls to _saveNotifications() can overwrite the (corrupt)
state file.

While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/627
We are currently inconsistent on whether case labels share the same
indentation level as the corresponding switch statement or not. gjs
goes with the default of no additional indentation, so go along with
that.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space
after catch clauses. While the predominant style is to omit it,
that's inconsistent with the style we use for any other statement.
There's not really a good reason to stick with it, so switch to
the style gjs/eslint default to.

Allow notifications to set a x-gnome-privacy-scope hint, with values in
['system', 'user']. If all the notifications in a particular source hint
that their privacy scope is ‘system’, don’t hide the notification
details on the lock screen.
This is aimed at fixing the particular case of power notifications: they
contain information which is not private to the user (it relates to the
system: battery state or AC state, which is obvious to anyone who can
see the machine), so hiding the details of a power management
notification when the screen is locked is pointless.

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.

While this sounds counter-intuitive, the image-path hint value might also
be used with URIs or icon names.
As per freedesktop standard:
The "app_icon" parameter and "image-path" hint should be either an URI
(file:// is the only URI schema supported right now) or a name in a
freedesktop.org-compliant icon theme (not a GTK+ stock ID).
Thus the image-path hint should also be parsed as it happens for the
app_icon.
Reuse same logic, by falling back on _iconForNotificationData with the
hint value.

Differently from the fd.o notifications, Gtk notifications do not
have a mechanism to update themselves. Instead, when a new
notification is received for an ID already known to the notification
daemon, the old notification is dismissed and a replaced with a new
one.
Currently though, there is no way to distinguish a notification that
was dismissed because of an user interaction, or because it was
replaced. That is an useful piece of information, so add a new value
to the NotificationDestroyedReason enum to account for it.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

When making any D-Bus call through the GDBus' proxy wrapper with an
invalid D-Bus object path, gnome-shell hangs.
Supposedly FdoApplicationProxy constructor should validate the passed
D-Bus object path and throw an error if the path is invalid. Since it
does not do that, we work it around by making sure that the deduced
D-Bus object path is valid or throw an exception if the path is not.
