It existed to fade out/in `nautilus-desktop` for the overview, but it only
ever worked for X11 sessions (`Meta.WindowType.DESKTOP`) and
`nautilus-desktop` no longer exists anyway.
While I had suggested extending it in the past (!1395), that work was
never finished and since then the DING extension has implemented its
own visibility toggling. There seems little value in keeping the old
fade logic around in gnome-shell. Removing it actually fixes a bug with
DING (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1965072).

While we don't want to position overview elements according to
the work area, it does apply in the session when the overview
is hidden. That is, we should take it into account for the HIDDEN
state, so that transitions from and to the overview are correct.

The work area is really the space that is available to application
windows. Applying it to the overview is therefore questionable,
in particular given that
- X11 clients that affect struts aren't shown
- elements added by extensions have other means
to affect the overview layout
Not applying the work area to the overview also makes ignoring
actors' visibility for struts acceptable again: Assuming that
strut actors are only hidden when the monitor is in fullscreen,
freezing the work area instead of updating it for windows that
are fully obscured by a fullscreen windows makes perfect sense.
This reverts commits 81a1e294f8 and 2b074882f4.

Start using the new methods to simplify signal cleanup. For now,
focus on replacing existing cleanups; in most cases this means
signals connected in the constructor and disconnected on destroy,
but also other cases with a similarly defined lifetime (say: from
show to hide).
This doesn't change signal connections that only exist for a short
time (say: once), handlers that are connected on-demand (say: the
first time a particular method is called), or connections that
aren't tracked (read: disconnected) at all.
We will eventually replace the latter with connectObject() as
well - especially from actor subclasses - but the changeset is
already big enough as-is :-)

Hiding the `WorkspacesDisplay` triggers a reallocation of the

We build controls layout using the whole monitor vertical space as
available, however extensions or external apps in X11 may reduce the
workarea size horizontally and the shell should always take care of it.
Given that we're already assuming that the allocation is monitor-based
and that we're adjusting it to the workarea, we can just make it more
explicit by using a workarea box that is used as the allocation area.
As per this, we also apply the same logic of applied to the vertical
dimension to the horizontal one.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1892>
To compute the available height for the layout we're currently using the
panel position, while this works for the current and default setup, the
shell may be configured to use a different workarea, so we should rely on
it to compute the available space, instead of a specific widget.
So get the current monitor index for the current view and use its coordinates
instead.

When starting a gesture to open the overview while a transition to hide
the overview is running, Overview._shown will be first set to false when
starting the transition and then to true by the gesture before the
`onComplete` callback is called. The `onComplete` callback in this case
is `Overview._hideDone()` which starts a transition to show the overview
again which also emits the `showing` signal. Since the gesture emits a
`showing` signal as well, this results in two consecutive `showing`
signals without a `hiding` signal in between.
This breaks the `searchControler` which adds a key press handler to
start the search on `showing` and removes it on `hiding`. So every time
this happens a new handler that will never be removed is added,
resulting in the first key press being repeated.

When super is pressed again during the overview transition, we shift
up to the app grid. That means that the feature currently doesn't
work when animations are disabled (like in a VM), because there is
no transition in that case.
Address this by adding a time-based fallback in that case, i.e.
shift up when a second super-press occurs within 250ms after the
first one.

For the primary monitor workspace thumbnail, we must keep the monitor
index in sync with what is currently the primary monitor index,
otherwise we might end up trying to move windows to non-existing
monitors.
For example, if the primary monitor index was 1 when the thumbnail box
was created, but later, the primary monitor index changed to 0, with the
other monitor being turned off, moving a window to one of the workspaces
on the workspace thumbnail, gnome-shell would attempt to move it to the
monitor with the index the primary monitor had in the past, with the
problem being that that monitor no longer exists.
Fix this by listening on the 'monitors-changed' signal on the layout
manager, and update the monitor index of the primary workspace
thumbnails box. Make sure to connect to the signal before creating the
thumbnails box, as the thumbnails box itself will listen to the signal
and recreate its actual thumbnails, and it must do this with the up to
date monitor index.

When OverviewControls goes from HIDDEN to APP_GRID, it constantly checks
if AppDisplay needs to be visible or not by checking the current overview
state is bigger than WINDOW_PICKER. Turns out in this case this check is
problematic, because when the current state trespasses WINDOW_PICKER, the
layout manager will have already positioned AppDisplay halfway to its final
position.
Use either the final or the current state, whichever is biggest, when updating
the AppDisplay visibility. It optionally allows passing the overview state
params to _updateAppDisplayVisibility() so that we avoid a few trampolines to
recaltulate the adjustment state.

Right now we use a ClutterClone ghost of the panel simply to add some
spacing to the top monitor edge.
We can remove the panelGhost by adjusting the allocations of all the
parts of the overview ourselves inside ControlsManagers vfunc_allocate,
this should also work with extensions that move the panel somewhere
else.
This makes the initial relayout of the overview significantly faster,
because we now no longer have to relayout the whole panel in the
process.

The OverviewControls actor gets allocated a fixed size by its parent,
the OverviewActor, anyway, so it's pretty useless to go through the size
request machinery and add up all the sizes of items in the iconGrid,
coming up with a preferred size that's wrong anyway.
Instead simply return a min and preferred size of 0 in
get_preferred_height/width of ControlsManagerLayout.

Hiding actors allows excluding them from layout, so by hidding the
appDisplay in all the cases where the overviewAdjustment is not actually
showing it, we can save a lot of time on the first frame of painting
the overview because we no longer have to layout the whole appGrid.

The new startup animation consists of rising the Dash from the bottom,
falling the search entry from the ceiling, and going from HIDDEN to
WINDOW_PICKER with an opacity applied.
One little trick from IconGridLayout was added to ControlsManagerLayout,
which is a promises-based wait for allocation. This is required to make
sure that the transformed position of the search entry is valid, which
is only the case right after an allocation.
This animation also ensures that the overview is shown right on startup.
For session modes that do not have an overview, continue using the same
fade + scale animation.

Right now the minimap only hides itself in case of a single static
workspace. That's not only an edge case, but also not expected to
change while the overview is visible, so changing the visibility
without a transition is fine.
However that is about to change, and we'll hide the minimap as well
when there are fewer than three workspaces. As that condition is
very much expected to change from within the overview, the transition
should be animated.
Implement that via a new :collapse-fraction property on ThumbnailsBox,
and use that to transition both the height of the box itself and the
scale of the individual thumbnails.

We currently have two components that show or hide the minimap:
- the thumbnails hide themselves in case of a single static workspace
- overview controls show the minimap when no search is active
That obviously doesn't work correctly.
To fix this, change thumbnails to set a new :should-show property instead
of the visibility, and let the overview controls take it into account
when changing the visibility.

The gesture internally manipulates the main adjustment so one swipe
up brings up the overview, and a second swipe up brings the app
grid. The gesture also works in the other direction to get out of
the overview.
Internally, this is delegated on the OverviewControls, so the
adjustment is not leaked out of there. This however meant open
coding the gesture interaction so it can be directed from
overview.js code.

Back when the Dash was vertical, the size of each item was calculated
solely based on the available height. After making the Dash horizontal,
this was swapped by the available width. However, when the height of the
Dash decreases, the current code results in never scaling them up ever
again.
Fix that by making ControlsManagerLayout explicitly pass the maximum Dash
sizes. Remove the 'notify::width' handler that served the same purpose.

The overview transition consists of getting the initial and final
states of the overview adjustment, derivating various other internal
states from them (such as the fit mode, opacities, translations, etc),
and finally interpolating the allocation boxes.
When interpolating between the fit mode, WorkspacesView uses the current
allocation box to derivate the SINGLE and ALL fit mode boxes. However,
that creates a curved path during overview transitions. What we really
want to do here is calculate the fit mode box relative to the corresponding
overview state. For example:
+----------------+----------+------------------------+
| Overview State | Fit Mode | Workspaces geometry |
+----------------+----------+------------------------+
| HIDDEN | SINGLE | Cover entire screen |
| WINDOW PICKER | SINGLE | Between minimap & Dash |
| APP GRID | ALL | 15% screen height |
+----------------+----------+------------------------+
Using the table above as the reference, when the overview transitions
between WINDOW PICKER and APP GRID, we must interpolate between
(SINGLE fit mode @ between minimap & Dash) and (ALL fit mode @ 15% screen
height). That way, we always interpolate the final boxes, which corrects
the odd path that workspaces follow during this transition.
Make the WorkspacesView of the primary monitor use these cached boxes
when the overview is in the middle of a transition, and the fit modes of
the initial and final state differ, to calculate the workspaces positions.

Move AppDisplay, WorkspacesDisplay, and ThumbnailsBox from ViewSelector to
ControlsManager. This allows to always allocate the correct size for AppDisplay,
and will enable for a plethora of further improvements. The end goal is to
completely remove ViewSelector, and let ControlsManager handle the layout of
everything that's visible in the overview.
For now, replace the apps page with a dummy actor in ViewSelector.
Adjust various callers around the codebase to not access the ViewSelector
directly from the overview anymore.

Currently, ActivitiesContainer reacts to showAppsButton and
transitions between app grid and window picking states on
its own. In the future, we want full control over this.
ControlsManager already has a state adjustment that represents
all possible overview states. Propagate this adjustment up to
ActivitiesContainer, and use it to drive the transition.
This requires moving the callback to the showAppsButton to

itself, not ActivitiesContainer's adjustment.
