Now that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome implements the Access portal
interface, GNOME Shell doesn't have to be the portal backend for
that anymore.
The D-Bus implementation is still preserved, because internally,
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome may still proxy the Access call to GNOME
Shell when the parent window is not available. That's a private
exchange between xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and GNOME Shell though,
and doesn't require GNOME Shell to be a full portal backend.

To mirror Mutter.
This is useful for local installations with e.g. the `release`
buildtype.
Further more, Fedora has been doing the same system wide and it
apparently was helpful in various ways.

Pipewire allows us to easily track whether any cameras are in used by
checking the state of camera nodes. Add a simple camera monitor to the
shell, allowing us to show e.g. a status indicator.
Naturally the monitor is limited to apps using Pipewire for camera
access and thus subject to the same chicken-egg problem like the camera
portal - it could confuse users that apps may use the camera without
being noticed by the monitor. The hope and assumption here is that a
better shell integration might speed up adoption of the new camera APIs
Pipewire 0.3.49 is required for refcounted `pw_init()`/`pw_deinit()`.

We started to support Soup3 in GNOME 41, and used it by default
since GNOME 43. This should be enough time for distros to adapt,
so GNOME 45 looks like a good moment to drop the old Soup2 support.

Add common test environment variables to a default test setup so that they
don't need to be repeated everywhere.
Also ensures that we're always using the gsettings memory backend to never
interfere with local environment.

There's a few things going on here, that unfortunately must
happen in lockstep:
- The gnome-desktop-3.0 dependency gets replaced by gnome-desktop-4
and gnome-bg-4. The code in ui/background.js required minor updates.
- The libnma dependency gets replaced by a libnma4 dependency. The
code in misc/modemManager.js required minor updates.
- The gtk3 dependency is torn down everywhere but tests. Some
missing GdkPixbuf dependencies had to be added to compensate for
its lack.
- gtk_init_check() is no longer called
As a result, we replace a hard gtk3 dependency with a soft gtk4
run-time linking one, only added indirectly through gnome-bg-4
and libnma4.

The tool was added in 2018 to migrate to per-desktop overrides from the
old overrides system.
5 years later, everyone who’s going to migrate probably has migrated, so
we can delete the script and remove a process running on every login.

If one wants to run tests the non-installed gnome-shell, that currently
fails as gnome-shell the executable attempts to link against
./build/src/libgnome-shell.so, but when GObject introspection tries to
find what library to link to for Shell, it goes to the installed
libgnome-shell.so, causing two different versions of libgnome-shell.so
to be loaded.
This, however, can be avoided thanks to meson adding $ORIGIN paths to
relevant libraries before installing an executable. What this means in
practice is that we can inspect ourself upon startup, discover whether
the RPATH/RUNPATH header contains $ORIGIN, and if so, expand it to the
directory containing the executable, and prepend the introspection
search paths with said directory.
This effectively means that the introspection machinery now finds the
same library that the linker linked the gnome-shell executable with,
making it run successfully.
It's not possible to use $GI_TYPELIB_PATH since
g_irepository_prepend_library_path() takes precedence. There is no
"append" variant of that API.

Both bluetooth and screencast support are based on build checks
right now. However in both cases, the dependency is only consumed
at runtime via the typelib, so let's actually check for that.

Mutter and gnome-shell are released in lock-step, but I forgot to
bump the requirement accordingly.
Likewise the gsettings-desktop-schemas dependency is outdated, there
are a couple of keys we depend on that were added this cycle.
And while building should still be possible with the old gjs version,
we do require a newer version at runtime, so reflect that as well.

Replace deprecated functions with their direct replacements:
- dep.get_pkgconfig_variable() → dep.get_variable()
- prg.path() → prg.full_path()
- source/build_root() → project_source/build_root()
In one case we need meson.global_source_root() that was only
added in meson 0.58, so bump the requirement to that.
