a622aba7eb extensionUtils: Create and allow access to a new "extension" object
The "extension" object is what I previously called the "helper" object.
It contains the extension importer object as well as the metadata object.
Things that were previously added on to the metadata (state, path, dir, etc.)
are now part of this new "extension" object.

With the new importer changes brought on by the extension prefs tool,
extensions are left without a way to import submodules at the global scope,
which would make them rely on techniques like:

  var MySubModule;

  function init(meta) {
      MySubModule = meta.importer.mySubModule;
  }

That is, there's now a lot more meaningless boilerplate that nobody wants
to write and nobody wants to reivew.

Let's solve this with a few clever hacks.
Allow extensions to get their current extension object with:

  let extension = imports.misc.extensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();

As such, extensions can now get their own extension object before the
'init' method is called, so they can import submodules or do other things
at the module scope:

  const MySubModule = extension.imports.mySubModule;
  const dataPath = GLib.build_filenamev([extension.path, 'awesome-data.json']);

831099cca5 browser-plugin: Provide new APIs for launching extension preferences
Add two new APIs, "launchExtensionPrefs" to let SweetTooth let the user
launch the extension preferences tool directly from the browser. To allow
SweetTooth to check if an extension can be configured, add a new key to
the 'metadata', 'hasPrefs', which is returned by the GetExtensionInfo/
ListExtensions DBus methods.

049a561466 screenshot: add a 'flash' boolean flag to screenshot methods
Add a flag to these methods that allows flashing the area of the
screenshot directly from the compositor.

882fe48d80 Screenshot: Move filesystem I/O to a thread
Writting the screenshot to a file can take a relativly long time
in which we block the compositor, so do that part in a separate
thread to avoid the hang.

7c108e267c dbus: fix Screenshot async methods fallout from GDBus migration
With GJS' GDBus implementation, we get the invocation paramters as an
array if we declare a method as async.
This is bad and not consistent with what GJS does for synchronous
methods, but it's the way it is, and other classes in gnome-shell
implement this correctly by exploding the array into its components in
the method implementation, but not the screenshot methods.
Also, we're supposed to return a value using the provided invocation
object, not with a callback now, so do that.

17c46c2452 Port everything to class framework
The last patch in the sequence. Every place that was previously
setting prototype has been ported to Lang.Class, to make code more
concise and allow for better toString().

5350302b09 Port to new GDBus bindings in gjs
Rewrite code acquiring dbus names so that it uses GDBus, and rewrite
ShellDBus so that it is exposed on the GDBus connection. Ports of
the other objects will follow.

7928f90cf6 extensionSystem: Add "UninstallExtension" DBus method
For those who like their system pure, this provides the ability to purge a
pesky extension and its precious place on your disk space, and in your
"Local Extension" list.

d8a98e5467 extensionSystem: Add install-from-HTTP capability
This adds a new DBus method: InstallExtensionRemote(uuid : s, url : s)

Pass it the UUID of an extension and the URL of a manifest file: the same as a
metadata.json, but with a special key, '__installer', which is an HTTP location
that points to an zip file containing the extension. The Shell will download
and use it to install the extension. In the future, the manifest file may be
used to automatically detect and install updates.

2d813cbdd8 extensionSystem: Implement new live enable/disable system
The rough sketches of the system are outlined here:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2011-June/msg00283.html

Additionally, enable/disable extensions when the 'enabled-extensions' setting
changes. Two new DBus methods, "EnableExtension" and "DisableExtension" allow
users to manipulate this setting quite easily.

b7fd78b254 Add screenshot interface
Adds methods to shell_global to allow taking screenshots
save the result into a specified png image.

It exposes three methods via shellDBus applications like
gnome-screenshot:

*) Screenshot (screenshots the whole screen)
*) ScreenshotWindow (screenshots the focused window)
*) ScreenshotArea (screenshots a specific area)

5810fcb14d extensionSystem: Save extension errors per-extension
Extension developers may be confused about why their extensions aren't working:
the LookingGlass isn't a very obvious place, or even which errors are theirs.
To remedy this, save all errors per-UUID which allows them to be retrieved
later.

fc59e222d2 shellDBus: Add ListExtensions() and GetExtensionInfo()
GetExtensionInfo() takes a UUID and returns a JSON object with information
about that extension including their metadata, path and current state.

ListExtensions() takes no arguments and returns a JSON object mapping UUIDs
to the same information objects described above.

703b21cef0 Don't use double quotes for things that don't need to be translated
This is our convention.

The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.

4876474be3 Add shellDBus.js which implements Eval(str) and an OverviewActive property
For various reasons I'd like a method which allows evaluation; say
log in from another machine and run "gnome-shell --repl" or something.

Also as a possible solution for the screensaver X grab issue, add
a (read/write) property "OverviewActive".
