The chrome layer contains the user interface elements (e.g.,
the panel) that disappear when fullscreen windows get displayed.
Panel menus are currently put in the chrome layer, but don't need
to be, since they are only displayed when the user is interacting
with the shell and not a fullscreen application.
Putting panel menus in the chrome layer does mean they will get
stacked below shell interface elements that aren't in the chrome layer,
though.
This commit changes panel menus to be on the same layer as most other
shell elements, so they get properly stacked above those elements.

Extensions often want to add items to the system status area, so it
is useful to add a convenience API for it. Also, we now allow
for cleaner destruction of panel objects, by just calling destroy()
on it.
Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre.

The specs call for a 2 pixel gap between the panel and its menus,
though we need to specify this as 4 pixels, since it's relative to the
bottom of the icon/title, not the bottom of the panel (up until now,
the point of the menu arrow was actually overlapping the menu's
highlight underline).
Also, move the gap specification into the CSS, since it makes more
sense there.

Remove ShellGlobal's monitor-related methods, and have
Main.layoutManager provide that information instead. Move
Main._relayout() to LayoutManager, and have other objects connect to
the layout manager's 'monitors-changed' signal to know when the screen
geometry has changed.

Every place that called chrome.addActor was specifying
visibleInOverview:true, and no existing designs call for chrome that
disappears when you enter the overview, so just drop that as an
option.

Right now, the network menu will overflow the screen if More...
is selected with many access points. As a short-term workaround
for this, add a scrollbar for submenus of panel dropdown menus
if they would cause the toplevel menu to overflow the screen.
- Put the actors in a PopupSubMenu in a StScrollView so we get
a scrollbar if the allocated space is smaller than the height
of the menu. Expand animation is turned off in the scrolled case
to avoid weirdness.
- When we pop up a panel menu, set a max-height style property
on the panel menu to limit it to the height of the screen.
- Hack event handling while the scrollbar is dragged to make
the scrollbar work properly.

PopupMenuManager was pretending that it knew nothing about the menu's
sourceActors, while also trying to handle keynav between them. This
was a big mess, and resulted in bugs in navigation between panel menus
and the Activities button, and it totally gets in the way when trying
to add keynav to the dash (whose menu sources are arranged vertically
rather than horizontally).
Fix this up by moving the panel-specific parts to PanelMenuButton
instead.

Commit c86a977564 removed :pressed from the list of styles which
highlight panel buttons, so the button highlight is now lost when
mousing over menu items. This is not the behavior we want, the
buttons should keep their highlight while being "active". Rather
than adding back the pseudo class to the CSS, let buttons use the
:active pseudo class when the menu is open, which makes more sense
than :pressed anyway.
Fix the panel menus to avoid unnecessarily bouncing out of modal (bug
634194) and to do a better job of keeping the keyboard focus in the
right place

Instead of showing submenus on the left side, make PopupSubMenuMenuItem
act like an expander. The sub menu is toggled on click, opened on
right/enter/space on the parent item, closed on left on any item
or when closing the parent menu.

Add a "gicon" property so that a GIcon can be used instead of an
icon name, while still getting icon recoloring from the theme.
Also include a compatibility wrapper in libshell until GJS has
support for interface static methods.

Switch from St.TextureCache.load_named_icon() to using St.Icon for named
icons. Along with the advantage of getting colorization right for symbolic
icons, this allows moving some icon sizes into the CSS.
In the CSS, the system status icon size is changed to be 1em (=16px for the
default font size), at the request of the artists. See bug 613448.

Each menu is a focus manager group, but there is also some explicit
focus handling between non-hierarchically-related widgets. Eg, to move
between menus, or from a menubutton into its menu.

Icons can be loaded as St.Icon.SYMBOLIC, FULLCOLOR, APPLICATION or
DOCUMENT. The first will look for a symbolic equivalent, the second
looks for a full-color version (and does fallback, eg, from
"drive-harddisk-usb" to "drive-harddisk"). APPLICATION and DOCUMENT do
full-color icons without fallback (as specified by the icon spec).
And update various callers to use the right flags.

Solved by splitting the base class (PanelMenuButton) in a separate
module, ui.panelMenu, which is meant to hold also other reusable
button classes.
