oVirt is software for managing medium-to-large scale deployments of
virtual machine guests across multiple hosts. It supports a feature
where users can authenticate with a central server and get
transparently connected to a guest system and then automatically get logged
into that guest to an associated user session.
Guests using old versions of GDM support this single-sign-on capability
by means of a greeter plugin, using the old greeter's extension
API.
This commit adds similar support to the gnome-shell based login screen.
How it works:
* The OVirtCredentialsManager singleton listens for
'org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials.UserAuthenticated'
D-Bus signal on the system bus from the
'org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials'
bus name. The service that provides that bus name is called
the oVirt guest agent. It is also responsible for interacting
with the the central server to get user credentials.
* This UserAuthenticated signal passes, as a parameter, the a token
which needs to be passed through to the PAM service that is specifically
set up to integrate with the oVirt authentication architecture.
The singleton object keeps the token internally so it can be queried
later on.
* The OVirtCredentialsManager emits a signal 'user-authenticated' on
it's object once the dbus signal is triggered
* When the 'user-authenticated' signal is emitted, the login screen
tells GDM to start user verification using the PAM service. The
authentication stack of the service includes a PAM module
provided by oVirt that securely retrieves user credentials
from the oVirt guest agent. The PAM module then forwards those
credentials on to other modules in the stack so, e.g.,
the user's gnome keyring can be automatically unlocked.
* In case of the screen shield being visible, it also will react on that
'user-authenticated' signal and lift the shield.
In that case the login screen will check on construction time if
the signal has already been triggered, and a token is available.
If a token is available it will immediately trigger the functionality
as described above.

Allow the prefix 'special:' applied to result IDs to mark results
that should be always shown, even when they would overflow the
maximum results cap. This will be used by epiphany for the special
"Search the Web" result.

NotificationDaemon doesn't pass a gicon to the Notification constructor,
because it calls .update() immediately after, so messageTray.js
calls into Source.createIcon(), which returns null and crashes.
Instead, shortcut the Notification constructor by skipping
.update() completely.

The _background hack was added because the old way the zooming animation
worked, it set the allocation of the workspaces view and thumbnails box
to the final position and used animations to smoothly animate.
During the 3.6 cycle when we added the new search view, Cosimo changed the
way the zoom animation works so that rather than set the final allocation
and animate, we actually do adjust the allocation of the workspaces view
and thumbnails box.
So, as the hack is no longer necessary, we can drop it.

In order for the workspace thumbnails box to have the correct size,
we need to constrain the width of the thumbnails box to the height we're
given, instead of assuming an unlimited height.

We cannot wait for the queued update region to fire when
xdnd is being used because a wrong input shape can result
into a xdnd leave event when the user moves the pointer fast.

Since the agregate menu does 120% of font-size, make this

According to the designs, the notifications switch was supposed
to move from the user menu to the new message tray menu. However
so far the new system status implementation only removed the old
switch, so add it back in its new place now.

Because of the animation and collision with relayout, the title of windows in overview may not appear, mainly
the first time we enter in overview
With an animation delay of 0.1s, you'll not see the difference
