All callers have been updated to keep this handle to identify their
own grab.
Also, optionally use the windowing state to determine whether
the grab is suitable for the specific uses. This removes the need
to trying to grab twice in the places where we settle for a keyboard
grab.

MetaContext:unsafe-mode was added as a debugging tool to temporarily
remove restrictions on privileged APIs. But as it turns out, there
are now extensions that toggle the property permanently. Right now
none of them are malicious (as far as I can see), but it's still a
bad idea and should be discouraged.
Do this with a notification that warns the user when unsafe mode is
enabled non-interactively (i.e. via looking glass), and hopefully
also clarifies what the weird lock icon in the top bar is about.

We only want to show the welcome dialog in the user session, not
on the login screen or during initial setup. We currently achieve
that by explicitly checking for those mode names, but there are
other modes like gnome-classic where the dialog is equally un-
helpful. Support those cases by adding a session mode property
that determines whether the welcome dialog should be enabled,
so that modes can opt in or out of the feature themselves.
(Both the 'gdm' and 'initial-setup' modes are based on the
'restricted' mode, so this change does not affect them)

Move the screencasting into a separate D-Bus service process, using
PipeWire instead of Clutter API. The service is implemented in
Javascript using the dbusService.js helper, and implements the same API
as was done by screencast.js and the corresponding C code.

When a modal that's not on top of the modalActorFocusStack gets popped,
we shift the focus stack as described in popModal() to ensure the chain
remains correct. That however destroys the association of a modal actor
and its prevFocus actor on the focus stack, because the prevFocus actors
are now moved to different entries of the stack.
Now when a prevFocus actor gets destroyed, we don't handle that case
correctly and search for the modal actor that was associated with the
prevFocus actor before the stack was shifted, which means we end up
unsetting the wrong prevFocus actor.
So fix that and search the stack for the prevFocus actor which is being
destroyed instead to unset the correct entry.
Thanks to Florian Müllner for figuring out the actual issue and
proposing this fix.

The session mode determines whether the screen casting should work or
not, but until now only dealt with the built in screen cast, not the
ones using PipeWire. Add the newly added API for inhibiting remote
access when the session mode says screencasts are not allowed.

As of mozjs68 (gjs-1.64) `globalThis` is recommended over `window` and
it makes more sense in this context anyways. Migrate the few instances
of `window` we use and adjust the eslint configuration.
`window` will continue to resolve to `globalThis`, so this won't affect
extensions or other downstream users.

Filter the apps shown on the desktop and in search results according to
whether they are blacklisted by the user’s parental controls.
This supports dynamically updating the filter during the user’s session.
This adds an optional dependency on libmalcontent. If that’s unavailable, no
parental controls filtering will occur.

During the shell initialization we call the (deprecated) function to
override the Desktop environment in Gio DesktopAppInfo to make sure that
applications are correctly shown (as per commit b2fbf5a2), however this
might break the cases in which $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is already set and
contains GNOME (given that is now a list).
In Ubuntu this is in fact set to: ubuntu:GNOME.
Now, if an application contains NotShowIn=ubuntu, the key will be ignored by
the shell, and the application is still listed everywhere.
So, override the DesktopAppInfo desktop environment only in the case that
the current desktop is not already GNOME.
At the current date I think we could just safely get rid of this override at
all, but there could be still cases where it still might be useful, like when
running as nested in some other environment, so keeping it.

We now warn on startup if screen locking isn't available, however for
users who choose not to use GDM or logind, repeating the warning on
each login is more annoying than helpful.
Instead, limit the warning to the first login on which the screen lock
became unavailable. That way the notification will still serve the
intended purpose of informing the user, but without being perceived
as nagging.

At least for the time being, this looks like the easiest option to
launch the service:
- we could add a systemd unit, but then we'd need to update the
RequiredComponents in the fallback session definition as well,
making it necessary for gnome-shell, gnome-shell-extensions and
gnome-session to be updated to 3.36.1 in lockstep
- autostart is problematic as it would make gnome-shell conflict
with other notification daemons; also autostart is most useful
with automatic shutdown, which would require tracking signal
subscriber to determine when the service is unused

Along the lines of `styleSheetName`, a session mode may want to provide its
own gresource file, so make this possible via a `themeResourceName` session
mode parameter, defaulted to gnome-shell-theme.gresource

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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.

xgettext got better at recognizing template strings, so we can
replace more string concatenations. Alas xgettext is still buggy
(surprise, regular expressions are hard), so there are still a
handful of holdouts that prevent us from making a complete switch.

Every since commit aa394754, StBoxLayout has supported ClutterActor's
expand/align properties in addition to the container-specific child
properties. Given that that's the only container left with a special
child meta, it's time to fully embrace the generic properties (and
eventually remove the child meta).

The Keyboard class used to be both a view and controller class, however in order
to make the keyboard a native Clutter.Actor, we need to separate the widget from
the controller class, so that we can manage the actor lifetime from the JS side.
Thus, initialize the keyboard actor on the Keyboard constructor and create a
KeyboardManager class to manage its state and lifetime.

gnome-session used to show a dialog in this case, but a
notification is more natural nowadays. Doing it in gnome-shell
avoids complicated synchronization between gnome-session and
gnome-shell.

If graphical applications want to start from systemd units, they need to
start after we're properly ready to display them. This is particularly
important under X where `_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS` and other xprops are needed
to have the right theming.
We're doing this in an idle callback so that the dynamic starting of
`gnome-session-x11-service.target` (which launches `gsd-xsettings`) as
the result of a signal emission happens before us signalling we're ready
for later things to start.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/750
Those unused arguments aren't bugs - unbeknownst to eslint, they all
correspond to valid signal parameters - but they don't contribute
anything to clarity, so just remove them anyway.

Now that extension loading and the extensions map are no longer shared
between the gnome-shell and gnome-shell-extension-prefs processes, we
can move both into the ExtensionManager which makes much more sense
conceptually.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789852
The extension system started out as a set of simple functions, but
gained more state later, and even some hacks to emit signals without
having an object to emit them on.
There is no good reason for that weirdness, so rather than imitating an
object, wrap the existing system into a real ExtensionManager object.

Converting a variable to a particular type can be done explicitly (with
functions like Number() or toString()) or implicitly by relying on type
coercion (like concatenating a variable to the empty string to force
a string, or multiplying it with 1 to force a number).
As those tend to be less readable and clear, they are best avoided. So
replace the cases of string coercion we use with template strings, and
clarify the places that can be confused with number coercion.

We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.
(Array.includes() and Array.indexOf() do behave differently in edge cases,
for example in the handling of NaN, but those don't matter to us)
