This implements wellbeing screen time limits in gnome-shell. It depends
on a few changes in other modules:
- New settings schemas in gsettings-desktop-schemas
- A settings UI in gnome-control-center
- User documentation in gnome-user-docs
It implements the design from
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/settings-mockups/-/blob/master/wellbeing/wellbeing.png.
The core of the implementation is `TimeLimitsManager`, which is a state
machine which uses the user’s session state from logind to track how long
the user has been in an active session, in aggregate, during the day. If
this total exceeds their limit for the day, the state machine changes
state.
The user’s session activity history (basically, when they logged in and
out for the past 14 weeks) is kept in a state file in their home
directory. This is used by gnome-shell to count usage across reboots in
a single day, and in the future it will also be used to provide usage
history in gnome-control-center, so the user can visualise their
historic computer usage at a high level, for the past several weeks.
The `TimeLimitsDispatcher` is based on top of this, and controls showing
notifications and screen fades to make the user aware of whether they’ve
used the computer for too long today, as per their preferences.
Unit tests are included to check that `TimeLimitsManager` works, in
particular with its loading and storing of the history file. The unit
tests provide mock implementations of basic GLib clock functions, the
logind D-Bus proxy and `Gio.Settings` in order to test the state machine in
faster-than-real-time.

This implements health break reminder support in gnome-shell. It depends
on a
few bits and bobs from other modules:
- New settings schemas in gsettings-desktop-schemas (released in
47.beta, which Mutter already depends on)
- A settings UI in gnome-control-center
- User documentation in gnome-user-docs
It implements the design from
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/settings-mockups/-/blob/master/wellbeing/wellbeing.png.
The core of the implementation is `BreakManager`, which is a state
machine which uses the Mutter `IdleMonitor` to track whether the user
is, or should be, in a screen time break.
The `BreakDispatcher` is based on top of this, and controls showing
notifications, countdown timers, screen fades, the lock shield, etc. to
make the user aware of upcoming or due breaks, as per their notification
preferences.
Unit tests are included to check that `BreakManager` works. These
provide mock implementations of basic GLib clock functions, the
`IdleMonitor` and `Gio.Settings` in order to test the state machine in
faster-than-real-time.

Instead of having the name of the directory be X-GNOME-Utilities. This
also allows translating the name to the user's language. The name is
chose to be different to X-GNOME-Utilities from GNOME Menus.
In the process, also remove the categories. The menu definition from
gnome-menus is not used, and it's not a category that apps list
themselves, so it's completely unused anyway.
