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.

Gnome session started to track the session's active state a while
ago, so use that instead of our own ConsoleKit/logind abstraction
in LoginManager.

Components are pieces of the shell code that can be added/removed
at runtime, like extension, but are tied more directly to a session
mode. The session polkit agent, the network agent, autorun/automount,
are all components, keyring, recorder and telepathy client are all
now copmonents.
