Commit 764527c8c9b adjusted the "call" call to promisification that
never happened (in this bit of code).
We can either add back a callback or properly promisify the call;
this opts for the latter.

We kept the old binary name when overhauling the tool for the Extensions
app to avoid unnecessary churn for packagers/distributors.
However we now have a reason to "free" the old name, so rename the binary
to match the (sub)project name.

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.

Promises make asynchronous operations easier to manage, in particular
when used through the async/await syntax that allows for asynchronous
code to closely resemble synchronous one.
gjs has included a Gio._promisify() helper for a while now, which
monkey-patches methods that follow GIO's async pattern to return a
Promise when called without a callback argument.
Use that to get rid of all those GAsyncReadyCallbacks!

The Extensions app code is now independent enough from the rest of the code
base to move it to its own subprojects, like we did for the extensions-tool.
This allows for stand-alone builds of the app, which we are about to use
for distributing it as flatpak.
