For reasons not yet fully understood, `Main.uiGroup.add_actor` takes around
10 milliseconds to complete.
Because of this, each `actor.opacity = 0` has a good chance of falling
on a different frame. And when it does, `_opacityChangedId` also lands
on multiple different frames each incurring a separate relayout cycle.
It is this excessive number of relayouts that causes stuttering in the
icon grid animation (#2065). But it is the slowness of `uiGroup.add_actor`
that causes the number to be excessive when it should be one.
By creating the clones and adding them to `uiGroup` early, we then enable
the existing loop starting the animation to complete within a single frame.
And by completing within a single frame all the opacity changes land within
the same frame interval, thus incurring only a single relayout instead of
many.
This issue went unnoticed until 004a5e1042 (!704), after which the slow
emissions of `notify::opacity` became a more visible performance problem.

Now that the bind constraint changes the preferred size of
the actor, a major flaw in the AppDisplay code was exposed:
the folder dialog depends on the preferred size of a parent,
and the parent depends on the preferred size of the folder
dialog.
While we know this is not actually true, we shouldn't rely
on broken behavior to achieve this result. What's interesting
is that the bind constraint used by the folder dialog is a
relic of the development phase; we now control the position
and size of the dialog with a combination of CSS, and alignment.
Remove the unnecessary bind constraint.

Since the design of the notification popup changed with the theme
refactor and there are now boxes around the world-clock and weather
sections, the overlay scrollbar that is shown above them looks rather
bad. So simply hide that scrollbar, we still have the vfade effect to
indicate the container is scrollable and we also depend on that in the
new popup app-folders.

Make sure the stylesheet properties of the window-chrome title are
updated before requesting the preferred width of the title to prevent
size changes of the title after we animated the width.

Remove the default icon size of -1 and always set the container StBin to
a real size. This fixes an error where the "width" and "height"
properties get set to -2 (which is -1 * scaleFactor) in the `_init`
function.

To make sure the GC really disposes the KeyboardController object we
need to remove all references to the object, which means we have to
disconnect signals the object connects to, too.
This also fixes a bug where keys remain pressed forever and thus also
break that key on real keyboards. It happens if the OSK gets destroyed
during an OSK-key is being held so the StButton of the key is not
released. That means the key remains pressed in the
MetaVirtualInputDevice that we are now leaking because
KeyboardController isn't garbage collected.

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 quite a few strings of dialogs provided by external programs are
not updated yet and the string freeze is already in effect, make sure we
don't break those dialogs by stripping aways large parts of the
headline.
To do that, detect if the title label is larger than the available width
and if it is, switch to a smaller font-size of 13pt. This makes sure we
still show about the same number of characters in the headline as we did
in previous releases.

With the old screen shield, we were simply hiding the lightboxes to show
the shield when the user became active after activating the shield but
before locking the screen (that is, when using a lock-delay).
However now that the shield is gone, we end up showing the unlock dialog
even though we are not actually locked.
We probably don't want to add back a shield-like mode (that is, a way to
raise the unlock dialog without authentication when we aren't locked),
so just deactivate the whole shield when the user becomes active again
before the lock kicks in.
