After removing the app name and icon, the next natural step that
was requested from the design team is to add workspaces indicators
to the top bar, where currently the Activities button is placed.
In addition to that, this is desired because there are known issues
with using "Activities" as a label for the overview. A more
comprehensive rationale for that can be found at [1].
Add an workspaces indicator replacing the Activities label in the
activities button.
The WorkspaceIndicators class controls how many workspaces dots
exists, their expansion, and the width multiplier. The WorkspaceDot
class takes the expansion and the multiplier, and applies it
internally so that we can get perfectly rounded dots at all
times without using CSS hacks.
The width multipliers are hardcoded, and defined by the design
team. We can revisit them later if necessary. Special care is
taken to not let these width multipliers result in fractional
widths.
When the number of workspaces changes, WorkspaceIndicators adds
new dot to the end, and animate them. When removing, scale the dot
out, then destroy it.
This does not work with workspace grids, but that's not supported
by GNOME Shell anyway, so no effort is made to cover this use case.
The button continues to have "Activities" as its accessible name,
but the label actor is removed.
Also adjust the padding of the activities pill, so it better wraps
the new indicators.

Settings no longer exposes a slider for the keyboard brightness,
leaving keyboard shortcuts as the only way of adjusting it.
This is good enough in most cases, because devices with keyboard
backlight usually include corresponding keys on their keyboard.
However for devices without those keys, it would be good for the
settings to be exposed somewhere again. Quick settings seems like
a more appropriate place than "proper" Settings, since it gives
quick access that doesn't require a major focus change.

Sandboxed apps that run without a window are detected by the new
background monitoring service, introduced by xdg-desktop-portal.
We have an opportunity to improve the predictability of the desktop
and ensure that application state in transparently reported to users
by showing these apps, and allowing them to closed.
Add a new background apps menu to the quick settings, that is always
added at the bottom of the popover, and has a slightly custom, flat
style applied to it.
Show background-running apps in this menu, and allow closing them
by first attempting to execute the 'quit' action through D-Bus, and
if that fails, sending SIGKILL to the process.

Menu toggles are currently regular toggles with an additional
arrow button. This allows for a simpler implementation, but
has downsides with regards to keyboard navigation and hover
feedback.
To make it more obvious that the two parts of the menu toggle
perform different actions, change the overall structure of the
toggle to *contain* a regular toggle and the menu button.
That way each element uses its own hover effect, and shows up
in the keynav focus chain.

Add a subtitle label to QuickToggle, with a less prominent font.
Make the subtitle invisible when no text is present.
This new property will be used by next commits to implement quick
settings with a static title, and a changing subtitle.

It is currently not possible to bring up the screenshot UI while
locked, but that is about to change.
We still don't want screencasts in that case, because they are
much easier to abuse for filling up someone else's disk.
That restriction is enforced by inhibiting remote access in the
backend, so trying to create a screencast session will fail anyway.
Still, not offering an action that is unavailable is better than
having it fail silently, so do exactly that.

Add latched keys a distinct color again (mainly for alt/ctrl being
notoriously active), and tweak the suggestions box sizes so there are
no size jumps between an empty and a populated suggestions box.
