We have initTranslations() for binding an extension's
gettext domain, but nothing to help with using gettext
from an extension.
Such help would be useful though, as an extension that
calls textdomain() like a normal application would
inadvertently changes the default domain for the whole
gnome-shell process.
Instead, extensions have to use domain-specific versions
of the gettext functions:
```js
const Gettext = imports.gettext.domain('my-extension');
const _ = Gettext.gettext;
```
Make this a bit easier by adding those functions directly
to the extensions object when initTranslations() is called,
then expose helper functions for calling them.

Like the mutter 40.alpha.1.1 release, we missed adjusting to a
GSettings schema move from g-s-d to gsettings-desktop-schemas,
resulting in an abort on startup with the latest released
gnome-settings-daemon.
With the previous preparations in place, it is time to take the plunge.
As both the app and the portal use the same small library for handling
external windows, port everything at once to avoid the hassle of building
and installing two versions of the library.
With the portal using GTK4 now, all extensions must port their preference
widgets as well.

Unlike in previous GTK version (or Clutter), destroy() no longer
breaks reference cycles but just releases the reference held by
GTK itself.
So any reference we hold - either the explicit property or any signal
handlers that bind the window as `this` - prevents the window from
being disposed when closed, and the application won't quit.
Work around this by explicitly running dispose() on the window when
it is removed from the application.

GTK4 will remove the GtkHeaderBar:title property, so stop using it
and set the window's title property instead, as that's what headbars
use in both GTK3 and GTK4 unless explicitly overridden.

The man pages don't change very often, but draw in both docbook and
asciidoc. The latter is particularly problematic, as some distros
still ship only a python2 version of the tool.
Address this by generating the man pages at dist time, and including
the result in the tarball.

I messed up and released 40.alpha at the same time as 3.38.2, when it's
supposed to be in January. In order to re-align with the schedule, change
the upcoming version to 40.alpha2 so we don't have to skip a release and
will be back on track in time of 40.beta.
Currently there is no indication that an extension had an error except
for the sensitivity of the switch (which may have a different cause).
This is useful information to users, so add a small error indicator
alongside the updates icon and show the actual error in the details.

Currently the switches handle position reflects the requested
extension state (as in: the user (de)activated the switch),
while the actual extension state is reflected by the underlying
state.
That doesn't work well when the switch is insensitive though (for
example on error), because the desaturation neuters the color
that reflects the state.
Address this by resetting the switch handle to the state when
making it insensitive.
