shellDBus: Use MetaContext:unsafe-mode to restrict Eval()

The Eval() method is unarguably the most sensitive D-Bus method
we expose, since it allows running arbitrary code in the compositor.

It is currently tied to the `development-tools` settings that is
enabled by default. As users have become accustomed to the built-in
commands that are enabled by the same setting (restart, lg, ...),
that default cannot easily be changed.

In order to restrict the method without affecting the rather harmless
commands, guard it by the new MetaContext:unsafe-mode property instead
of the setting.
