Location services aren't expected to change frequently: They are
either disabled globally, or permissions are granted on a per-app
basis.
This is less of a concern while the setting is exposed in a small
submenu, but as we moving to quick settings, it does not deserve
the prominence of a quick toggle. Just the top bar icon and Settings'
privacy panel should be enough.

Start using the new methods to simplify signal cleanup. For now,
focus on replacing existing cleanups; in most cases this means
signals connected in the constructor and disconnected on destroy,
but also other cases with a similarly defined lifetime (say: from
show to hide).
This doesn't change signal connections that only exist for a short
time (say: once), handlers that are connected on-demand (say: the
first time a particular method is called), or connections that
aren't tracked (read: disconnected) at all.
We will eventually replace the latter with connectObject() as
well - especially from actor subclasses - but the changeset is
already big enough as-is :-)

We have made good progress on object literals as well, although there
are still a lot that use the old style, given how ubiquitous object
literals are.
But the needed reindentation isn't overly intrusive, as changes are
limited to the object literals themselves (i.e. they don't affect
surrounding code).
And given that object literals account for quite a bit of the remaining
differences between regular and legacy rules, doing the transition now
is still worthwhile.

There is now a location portal that provides a similar role
as our agent. Settings supports that portal in its application
panel, which allows users to revisit their choice later.
Unfortunately it uses a different permission store table, so
any permissions granted (or denied) through our agent won't
show up there.
To change that, switch to the same table as the portal/Settings.

Before this, creating a separate instance of `Location.Indicator` failed
because it tries to create export the same DBus path.
This is useful for extensions adding panels on multiple monitors. But
it also seems like a cleaner design to separate the indicator widget
from the logically separate role as a Geoclue agent.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.

Remove the `this.actor = ...` and `this.actor._delegate = this` patterns in most
of classes, by inheriting all the actor container classes.
Uses interfaces when needed for making sure that multiple classes will implement
some required methods or to avoid redefining the same code multiple times.

We are currently inconsistent whether to put the operators in front
of the corresponding line or at the end of the preceding one. The
most dominant style for now is to put condition and first branch on
the same line, and then align the second branch:
let foo = condition ? fooValue
: notFooValue;
Unfortunately that's a style that eslint doesn't support, so to account
for it, our legacy configuration currently plainly ignores all indentation
in conditionals.
In order to drop that exception and not let messed up indentation slip
through, change all ternary operators to the non-legacy style.

While we have some style inconsistencies - mostly regarding split lines,
i.e. aligning to the first arguments vs. a four-space indent - there are
a couple of places where the spacing is simply wrong. Fix those.
Spotted by eslint.

Make the dialog a widget itself, removing the `_group` property used for
handling the actor.
Update all the inherited classes to be also GObject implementations, moving all
the signals to proper object ones.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

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.

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.

It doesn't make sense to tie the proxy code for flatpak's permission
store to the location indicator, just because that was the first
component to use it, so split it into a separate module.

The permissions hash is initialized after consulting the permission
store, however the lookup is skipped for requests that cannot be
resolved to an application, resulting in an error when accessing
the uninitialized hash for saving. Just make sure that the property
is always initialized to avoid that error.

Let's make it really simple and ask user interactively, once. This
simplifies things for:
* Privacy panel of gnome-control-center as it doesn't have to filter
applications.
* Apps: If they are denied access, they can simply point users to
privacy panel of gnome-control-center since they can be sure location
access for the app can be enabled in there.
Also it's less annoying to user. Before this patch, if they denied
access to application, they had to keep doing that at least each time
they launched the application.

Alex told me that since it's not geoclue but rather GNOME-components
storing/accessing app permissions, it's better if we put it under
'gnome' rather than generic 'desktop' table.
While we could have implemented this already a while ago, this would
have been a completely false security mechanism since we had no way of
reliably identifying applications. Since now with xdg-app, we can at least
reliably identify bundled applications, let's give users a choice of
which applications in particular they are OK with giving location data
to.
While we still can't reliably identify system (non-xdg-app) applications,
it seems extremely unlikely we'll ever be able to do that (at least not
in the near future) so we'll have to trust them to not lie about their
IDs.
Next release of geoclue will take the ID of bundled application directly
from corresponding xdg-app metadata so bundled applications can't simply
lie about their IDs.

This class will be responsible for authorizing applications that try to
access location information. Since this is mainly targetted for xdg-app
applications, we make use of xdg-app's D-Bus API to store
per-application authorization.

Add a dialog that is used in a following patch, to ask user if they want
a requesting application to gain access to their location.
