The `hints` and `settingName` parameters to the agent call may define
the specific list of secrets NM actually needs from the user. This
seems to have been the intended use of these two parameters but only
recently did NM with the IWD backend start to use this to request 802.1x
secrets. So if `hints` is provided, ask user for the specific secrets
listed there and don't even look at what type of EAP method is in use.
Only the three types of secrets actually in use by NM's IWD backend are
supported for now -- they happen to be the same three that
_get8021xSecrets() had already supported.
While the libnm-glib version of the function returns a GByteArray*
that gjs can directly cast to the required gutf8*, the libnm function
returns GBytes* from which we need to explicitly fetch the data.

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.

It turns out that NetworkManager does export the directory as pkg-config
variable after all, so use that instead of building the path ourselves
from the prefix.

When the agent doesn't work (e.g. when the screen is locked), it shouldn't be
registered with NM. Otherwise it will keep cancelling the requests that
could happily be serviced with system secrets.

The native agent already forgets about the request at the point it's
serviced and the further attempt to use it (e.g. cancel it when the screen
is locked) will trigger an assertion failure:
** (gnome-shell:30862): CRITICAL **: shell_network_agent_respond: assertion 'request != NULL' failed

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

Currently the cache is built once when the first VPN request is
handled, so plugins that are installed or uninstalled after that
aren't picked up. Fix this by invalidating the cache on changes
to the plugin directory.

If the action was initiated by the user, we want to show the
modal dialog immediately, while if the action was initiated by
NM autoconnection policy we first show a notification and then
show the dialog when needed.

Indicate to NetworkManager that the Shell's agent supports VPN
hints, and pass those hints to VPN auth dialogs that also indicate
that they support hints.
VPN plugins can request new secrets, for example if the previous
ones are incorrect (eg, user mis-typed the password) or some other
reason (next token code required to re-sync a hardware token).
The specific secret that the VPN wants, and a VPN-specific message,
are passed in hints from the plugin, to NetworkManager, to the
agent (GNOME Shell) and then to the auth dialog.

We don't want password entries to grow when entering more characters
that fit the available width; as labels' ClutterText ellipsizes by
default, the password labels allow entries to grow by shrinking.
Setting the appropriate ellipsize mode fixes this.

We don't make use of any functionality StTable provides over
ClutterTableLayout, so port all users to the Clutter layout
in order to remove our own copy of the code.

Setting auto-register to true launches the initial registration, and will
afterwards re-launch the agent registration if NetworkManager gets restarted.
When the component is disabled we'll first disable auto-registration, and only
then request to unregister.

Components are pieces of the shell code that can be added/removed
at runtime, like extension, but are tied more directly to a session
mode. The session polkit agent, the network agent, autorun/automount,
are all components, keyring, recorder and telepathy client are all
now copmonents.
