Florian Müllner fda938175e shellDBus: Add new OpenExtensionPrefs method
Unlike any other methods in the Extensions API, LaunchExtensionPrefs()
opens what appears to be an application dialog, except that it is
really a separate application that the caller has no control over.

In order to address that, add a new OpenExtensionPrefs() method that
takes additional parameters (modelled after the desktop portal APIs)
that will make it possible to improve the behavior in the future.

The new parameters are ignored for now, but pushing the API out now
will allow us to fill in the functionality post the .0 release.

Gnome-shell OSK layouts are extracted from CLDR layout definitions:
https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/keyboards/layouts/index.html

Updating these involves several steps:

1) Downloading and unzipping the tarball found at:
   http://www.unicode.org/Public/cldr/latest/keyboards.zip

   This file contains XML files describing the keyboard layouts.

2) Cloning the cldr2json script at:
   git://repo.or.cz/cldr2json.git

   It will be used to convert the XML files into JSON that can be
   directly consumed by gnome-shell.

3) Running the script to produce the files:
   ./cldr2json <input-directory> <output-directory>

   We shall usually use the "android" folder, since that's most
   complete, and similar to our UI and target sizes. And the target
   directory must be data/osk-layouts in this repository.

4) Modify gnome-shell-osk-layouts.gresource.xml to include the files

5) Do git add on the updated/new files, and git commit.


Or alternatively:

1) Run update-osk-layouts.sh

2) Do git add and git commit
