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.
In order to support OpenExtensionPrefs()'s parentWindow parameter,
we will need the ability to make a window transient to an external
window identified by a string handle.
This takes the corresponding code from xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and
brings it into an introspectable form, likewise the counterpart in
libportal to export a string handle for a GtkWindow.
