Being able to visualize the actor tree is a handy feature
to have, specially when debugging the hierarchy.
Add a new "Actors" tab to the Looking Glass with the actor
tree inspector. The tree is cleared on unmap to not get
heavy on the number of actors.

The Frequent apps grid has a few problems:
* On a fresh install there would be no history of app usage so the
applications shown in the grid have no relevance it takes time
to be useful instead of being useful from the start;
* The grid has far too many items in it to be relevant; 24 apps is
well beyond the average use case as most people don't frequently
use that many, so it gets populated with several apps that are
single use (hello xterm);
* The position of items in the grid are always changing based on an
unknown frequency metric (and not by user-intended input) which
makes it a poor way to quickly launch apps as one would have to
constantly learn the positions of the items in the grid;
* Having two app grids is a bit superfluous and needlessly complicates
the app launching navigation: you have to spend time checking the
frequent grid and if it's not there you have to switch over to another
grid and find the app you need in there it's not straightforward.
Remove the Frequent tab and simplify the related code.

With color picking implemented in the compositor, we
can do better than letting the user pick a pixel with
the crosshair cursor, and present them with a preview
of the color that will be selected.
Do this by replacing the cursor with a custom icon and
apply a recoloring effect, where we replace a given color
with the color of the currently hovered pixel (similar
to a green screen).

Replace the usage of IconGrid in the grid search results by
a custom layout manager that only allocates as many children
as the actor can fit.
This new layout manager does not implement changing the icon
size depending on the screen size.

Now that the extension preference dialog is opened by a separate
D-Bus service rather than the Extensions app, it can be opened
without a parent window that provides name and icon.
Fix this by adding back a hidden .desktop file.

We had various requests to improve existing OSK layouts, but
haven't accepted them so far as any changes would be overridden
when regenerating the layouts.
However as the upstream layouts at http://www.unicode.org are
extremely slow to update(*), we shouldn't block all improvements.
So instead of letting the update script override all existing
layouts, just make it import new layouts.
(*) not their fault, as the android layouts are a downstream to Google

The module was imported into the toplevel in !424, but that's at
least a bit weird:
- it's a helper script for one particular aspect (OSK layouts)
- it adds a README.mdwn to our own README.md, and a test/ directory
to our tests/
Move the whole thing to a subdirectory under data/, which is more
appropriate.

Use a brighter color and increase the contrast of the selected/active
items in the switcher popup.
Since a bright color doesn't go well with a box-shadow, remove that
shadow, an effect like should only be used for elements clicked with a
mouse anyway.

When mutter is acting as a display server it sets a number of
environment variables in the user's session. These variables
tell applications where the display server's sockets are.
When the shell exits at logout time it leaves these environment
variables in the systemd --user environment, which can confuse
subsequent sessions.
This commit clears up the environment on exit.

Unlike any other methods in the Extensions API, LaunchExtensionPrefs()
opens what appears to be an application dialog, except that it is
really a separate application that the caller has no control over.
In order to address that, add a new OpenExtensionPrefs() method that
takes additional parameters (modelled after the desktop portal APIs)
that will make it possible to improve the behavior in the future.
The new parameters are ignored for now, but pushing the API out now
will allow us to fill in the functionality post the .0 release.

The 'disable-user-extensions' GSettings key is the last extensions-related
setting that isn't exposed over D-Bus, and therefore requires consumers
to access the GSettings directly.
Expose the setting as UserExtensionsEnabled readwrite property in the
org.gnome.Shell.Extensions interface to allow consumers to manage
extensions purely via D-Bus.
The 'disable-user-extensions' setting is the last extension-related
bit from the org.gnome.shell GSettings schema that is not exposed
via D-Bus.

Commit 6c6c89c634 added a pill around the default avatar, but
assumed the sizes from the vertical widget used on the lock screen.
In order to fix the horizontal widget on the login screen, move the
size-specific bits to the corresponding .horizontal and .vertical
sections, and half the sizes for the former (which corelates with
the icon sizes).

While the gsetting is available for all who needs it, the Shell might
override it given various hueristics. Expose the decision made by the
Shell via a new property.
Intended to be used by gsd-xsettings as well as xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.
This also add a version property to the API, so that semi external
services (xdg-desktop-portal-gtk) can detect what API is expected to be
present.

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.

Currently separators get all the padding from regular menu items,
which is excessive for non-interactive elements.
Shuffle style classes around a bit to allow overriding the normal
padding for separators.
