When promisifying async operations in commit 764527c8c, the
finish function for read_line_async() was sneakily changed from
read_line_finish_utf8() to read_line_finish().
That is, the call returns a Uint8Array now that requires an
explicit conversion to string.

Since gjs moved to mozjs60, return values of int8_t arrays can
no longer be treated as strings. We originally made the conversion
conditional to keep working with the (then) stable gjs release.
That was two years ago and we require a more recent gjs nowadays,
so there's no good reason for keeping the old code path.

(optional) is only valid for (out) or (inout) parameters (that are
marked as such).
However GError** arguments appear as throws="1" in the GIR anyway
instead of an explicit parameter, so we don't need any annotation
at all here.

When the last item of an IconGridLayout page is removed,
the page itself is removed too. However, the indexes of
items of next pages are not updated, which mess up the
layout manager state.
Update the page index of the items at forward pages when
removing a page.

While the performance framework was originally written to collect
performance metrics, driving the shell by an automated script is
also useful to ensure that basic functionality is working.
Add such a basic test, initially checking top bar menus, notifications
and the overview.
Eventually it would be nice to separate the automatic scripting from
gathering performance metrics, but IMHO that can wait until we switch
from gjs' custom imports system to ES modules.

global.run_at_leisure() is used from automated scripts to schedule
a callback when the shell is idle. However since we moved away from
Tweener, animations are no longer taken into account; fix this by
marking transitions as "work" if the convenience ease() functions
are used.

The original scripting framework was based on SpiderMonkey's
pre-standard generators, and was simply translated to the
corresponding standard syntax when updating it to work with
recent JS versions.
We can do even better by using the standard async/await pattern
instead of generators/yield.

If the user's battery power is low, we should not check the checkbox to
install updates by default. Rationale: if the user's battery is not low,
it's very unlikely to run out during a normal system upgrade. Low
battery is defined as any level below 30%, matching our battery status
indicator.
We'll also change the battery warning to only display when battery is
actually low. However, we will still always warn on battery for full
system upgrades, since these are expected to take a long time.
Future improvement: it would be nice to make the checkbox insensitive
when on low power. However, I don't think we currently have a proper
style for insensitive checkboxes. I was unable to make it look good.
Lastly, note that I did not test this on a laptop. I tested this by
mocking the return values of _isDischargingBattery() and
_isBatteryLow().

A side effect of removing the action buttons in favor of a regular
submenu is that we are a lot less constrained by size. So instead
of lumping "Restart" in with "Power Off", make it a separate menu
item.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2202
We will split off restart from the existing shutdown dialog, and
instead offer it as a separate menu item in the session submenu.
But before doing that, make sure that the existing restart dialog
exposes the same feature set as power off.

Much of St is undocumented, aside from input/output arguments. This is
no doubt because a lot of it parallels Gtk closely, but is worth
improving since many new programmers are not familiar with Gtk.
