There's a few things going on here, that unfortunately must
happen in lockstep:
- The gnome-desktop-3.0 dependency gets replaced by gnome-desktop-4
and gnome-bg-4. The code in ui/background.js required minor updates.
- The libnma dependency gets replaced by a libnma4 dependency. The
code in misc/modemManager.js required minor updates.
- The gtk3 dependency is torn down everywhere but tests. Some
missing GdkPixbuf dependencies had to be added to compensate for
its lack.
- gtk_init_check() is no longer called
As a result, we replace a hard gtk3 dependency with a soft gtk4
run-time linking one, only added indirectly through gnome-bg-4
and libnma4.

The tool was added in 2018 to migrate to per-desktop overrides from the
old overrides system.
5 years later, everyone who’s going to migrate probably has migrated, so
we can delete the script and remove a process running on every login.

If one wants to run tests the non-installed gnome-shell, that currently
fails as gnome-shell the executable attempts to link against
./build/src/libgnome-shell.so, but when GObject introspection tries to
find what library to link to for Shell, it goes to the installed
libgnome-shell.so, causing two different versions of libgnome-shell.so
to be loaded.
This, however, can be avoided thanks to meson adding $ORIGIN paths to
relevant libraries before installing an executable. What this means in
practice is that we can inspect ourself upon startup, discover whether
the RPATH/RUNPATH header contains $ORIGIN, and if so, expand it to the
directory containing the executable, and prepend the introspection
search paths with said directory.
This effectively means that the introspection machinery now finds the
same library that the linker linked the gnome-shell executable with,
making it run successfully.
It's not possible to use $GI_TYPELIB_PATH since
g_irepository_prepend_library_path() takes precedence. There is no
"append" variant of that API.

Both bluetooth and screencast support are based on build checks
right now. However in both cases, the dependency is only consumed
at runtime via the typelib, so let's actually check for that.

Mutter and gnome-shell are released in lock-step, but I forgot to
bump the requirement accordingly.
Likewise the gsettings-desktop-schemas dependency is outdated, there
are a couple of keys we depend on that were added this cycle.
And while building should still be possible with the old gjs version,
we do require a newer version at runtime, so reflect that as well.

Replace deprecated functions with their direct replacements:
- dep.get_pkgconfig_variable() → dep.get_variable()
- prg.path() → prg.full_path()
- source/build_root() → project_source/build_root()
In one case we need meson.global_source_root() that was only
added in meson 0.58, so bump the requirement to that.

Since the CI pipeline now runs `meson dist` which includes a test
for an up-to-date NEWS entry, post-branch/release version bumps
have become unwieldy.
It's still useful to increase the API version right after branching
though, so return to bumping it manually and do so now.

St's theme test now requires the libmutter-test library, which is only
built when tests are enabled. Instead of mandating a particular build
configuration in mutter, add a corresponding option in gnome-shell as
well.

This signal announces the preferred commit mode of the preedit text when
the input context is reset. Keep this mode around, and ensure to honor this
mode (e.g. maybe commit the preedit string) whenever the input method would
be reset.
This is delegated to the internal layers, so propagate this mode via
clutter_input_method_set_preedit_text().

!1940 added support for soup 3, including a fallback to soup 2.4
where the newer version isn't available.
Unfortunately it missed that libgweather has a hidden soup dependency,
and now gnome-shell fails to start if a weather location has been set
up and soup 3 is available.
We don't have a good way to detect that case, so hide the soup 3 support
behind a build option. Distributors are expected to switch it at the
same time as libgweather.

There's now a setting
org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-show-password
that ostensibly lets admins prevent from users from
showing their password in password dialogs.
gnome-shell currently ignores this key.
As a first step, this commit adds the setting to StSettings.
Future commits will use the new setting.

This ports over gnome-shell and the theme test case to MetaContext,
instead of the various functions that were available before.
The test case is changed to use the special test context, used to
construct contexts for testing. It's part of a shared libary separate
from the main libmutter one.
This enables building mutter tests during CI, as the test framework is
needed by some of gnome-shell's tests.

`mallinfo` has been deprecated in favor of `mallinfo2`:
```
The fields of the mallinfo structure that is returned by the
older mallinfo() function are typed as int. However, because
some internal bookkeeping values may be of type long, the
reported values may wrap around zero and thus be inaccurate.
```

The migration happened in GNOME 3.6 over 9 years ago. The chances
that someone migrates from 3.0.x or 3.2.x to 41 are very much zero.
And if it were to happen, it wouldn't work anyway, because we stopped
using a separate overrides schema.

With commits fab39bbea5 and
62e40a1350 we started depending on a new
ClutterActor API: clutter_actor_invalidate_paint_volume()
Given that this commit was applied to the 40 stable release, it broke
ABI compatibility with mutter, which is something we guarantee between
stable releases. So use GModule to dynamically find the symbol in our
loaded libraries. If it exists, use it and invalidate the paint volume.
If it doesn't exist, libmutter is still at version 40.0 and we don't
need to invalidate the paint volume.
This also adds a dependency on gmodule. We need to link against gmodule
to use g_module_open() and g_module_symbol() APIs.
