The two parts were mapping windows to applications, and
recording application usage statistics. The latter part
(now called ShellAppUsage) is much more naturally built on top of
the former (now called ShellWindowTracker).
ShellWindowTracker retains the startup-notification handling.
ShellWindowTracker also gains a focus-app property, which is
what most things in the shell UI are interested in (instead of
window focus).
ShellAppSystem moves to exporting ShellApp from more of its
public API, rather than ShellAppInfo. ShellAppSystem also
ensures that ShellApp instances are unique by holding
a hash on the ids.
ShellApp's private API is split off into a shell-app-private.h,
so shell-app.h can be included in shell-app-system.h.
Favorites handling is removed from ShellAppSystem, now inside
appFavorites.js.
Port all of the JavaScript for these changes.

Previously, we had ShellAppInfo, which contains fundamental
information about an application, and methods on ShellAppMonitor
to retrieve "live" information like the window list.
AppIcon ended up being used as the "App" class which was painful
for various reasons; among them that we need to handle window
list changes, and some consumers weren't ready for that.
Clean things up a bit by introducing a new ShellApp class in C,
which currently wraps a ShellAppInfo.
AppIcon then is more like the display actor for a ShellApp. Notably,
the ".windows" property moves out of it. The altTab code which
won't handle dynamic changes instead is changed to maintain a
cached version.
ShellAppMonitor gains some more methods related to ShellApp now.
In the future, we might consider changing ShellApp to be a GInterface,
which could be implemented by ShellDesktopFileApp, ShellWindowApp.
Then we could axe ShellAppInfo from the "public" API and it would
return to being an internal loss mitigation layer for GMenu.

Before we were badly leaking AppIcons by not disconnecting from the
window signal handlers when our actor got destroyed. This caused
us to repeatedly re-sort the windows for each AppIcon that
had ever been displayed with obvious bad consequences.
Besides simply chaining the signals to the lifetime of the AppIcon
actor, we also only do the sorting if we're mapped. This decreases
the amount of work to do in the not-mapped case.

Add a "size" parameter to allow changing the AppIcon size, and then
simplify the constructor by taking an object with parameters like
gobject-introspection constructors do, rather than taking a large
number of miscellaneous arguments.

By sorting the windows in the current workspace first, we ensure that
when using alt+tab to switch windows, we will pick a window on the
active workspace as the default focused window for the application if
the application has at least one window on the current workspace (that
is, if it is on the left of the app switcher separator).
This makes the behaviour of alt+tab more predictable for the user, as
an user will expect alt+tab to switch to the window he/she can see right
now rather than the one on the workspace he just left (presumably to do
something else on the workspace he's currently on).

We were actually showing a menu on button 3 before, but only
through a chain of coincidences. This patch explicitly supports
it and makes sure we show it immediately rather than after
a timeout. Pass the activating button in so that we only pop
down on that button.

Also have inactive applications pop up a menu.
Add/Remove from favorites is now in the menu.
Concatenate the favorites/not-favorites instead of having a gap only
if you happened to have a not-divisible-by-4 number of favorites.

Unlike icons in the application well, do not show the glow used to
indicate running apps. It is somewhat redundant here. These are all
running apps and it is fairly clear from the window list if there are
multiple instances available, according to mccann.

The default AppIcon gray border color isn't very visible against a
dark gray background, but a white border looks too bold in the Well. So
allow the caller to override the AppIcon border color, so that the Well
can use gray-on-black and the AppSwitcher can use white-on-gray. (And
then revert the AppSwitcher back to the translucent gray background.)

The menu is needed by the app switcher as well as the overview, so
make it slightly more generic and move the code to appIcon. Also add
support for drawing the menu either to the right of or below the icon.

When we have multiple windows for an application, implement the following
behavior:
* On click + immediate release, go to the most recently used
* On click, hold for 0.6s, pop up a menu with windows, filtering
the window list to just those windows.
Mouse over on the window list highlights the moused-over window.
Implement this by splitting well item into InactiveWellItem
and RunningWellItem, sharing a base class BaseWellItem.
