Unfortunately the evolution-data-server client-side libraries seem to
block the calling thread. This is a major problem as we must never
ever block the main thread (doing so causes animations to flicker
etc.). In the worst case, this problem causes login to hang (without
falling back to fall-back mode) and in the best case it slows down
login until a network connection is acquired.
Additionally, in order to sanely use these evolution-data-server
libraries, GConf has to be involved and GConf is not thread-safe. So
it's not really feasible just moving the code to a separate
thread. Therefore, move all calendar IO out of process and use a
simple (and private) D-Bus interface for the shell to communicate with
the out-of-process helper.
For simplification, remove existing in-process code since internal
interfaces have been slightly revised. This means that the shell is no
longer using any native code for drawing the calendar dropdown.

In non-US locales, Monday is generally considered the first day
of the week. Take this into account when building the event
lists displayed under "This week"/"Next week".

When the current day does not exist in the next/prev month (like 31 Feb),
the next/prev buttons end up skipping the month.
Fix that by going to the last day of the month instead.

The start date is shifted by a week if the day number of the month's
first day is smaller than the week start's day number. Probably the
only real world examples are months starting on a Sunday with locales
using Monday as start of week.

Use GSettings for all Shell configuration. GConf is kept to read
configuration from external programs (Metacity, Nautilus and Magnifier),
but ShellGConf is removed because it's mostly useless for the few calls
we still have. Also get rid of unused GConf code in ShellAppSystem.
A basic GConf schema is still used to override Metacity defaults and
configure Magnifier in a system-wide fashion. GConf is also used as
GSettings backend via the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable.
All of this will be removed when these programs have been ported
to GSettings and able to use dconf.
GLib 2.25.9 is required. Schemas are converted to the new XML format,
and compiled at build time in data/ so that the Shell can be run from
the source tree. This also requires setting the GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
environment variable both when running installed or from source tree,
in src/gnome-shell.in and src/gnome-shell-clock-preferences.in.

This patch adds ISO week dates to the calendar. Week dates are an
often used feature in business and government offices. Can be turned
on through gconf, off by default.

This is our convention.
The only exceptions are double quotes for words in comments that give
them a special meaning (though beware that these quotes are not truly
necessary most of the time) and double quotes that need to be a part
of the output string.
Miscellaneous fixes from review:
- Distribute calendar.js and the interactive test
- Make the pointless protection against leap seconds actually work
by starting in the middle of the day so that forward/back always
move a day.
- Use a variable instead of an inline '8' to know where to start
when removing old day actors.
- Remove a stray comment from the test

Make the calendar reactive and handle scroll events to change the month.
(GtkCalendar and hence the old gnome-panel calendar supported this and
it is apparently a handy way to flip through months.)
The padding is moved from the CalenderPopup to the Calendar so that the
scroll region extends all the way to the edge of the popup.

js/ui/calendar.js: Generic calendar widget
tests/interactive/calendar.js: Basic test of the calendar
js/ui/panel.js: Add a pop-down from the clock that shows a
calendar widget. The pop-down is not menu-like to allow the user to
interact with an application while looking at the calendar.
gnome-shell.css: Add theming for calendar, calendar popup, and for
buttons on the panel
