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.

When the app is properly launched, D-Bus activation will be followed
by a call to org.freedesktop.Application.Activate() to open the window.
But it's also possible for D-Bus activation to happen in other
circumstances, for example during gdbus command line completion.
We don't want to pop up a window then, so pass the --gapplication-service
flag to properly separate D-Bus activation from activating the app.

We currently ignore any error that may occur when calling the
OpenExtensionPrefs D-Bus method. Right now such an error is highly
unlikely, given that we already checked that we are running under
gnome-shell and the extension in question exists and has prefs.
We'll soon make sure that only one dialog is shown at any time,
which is an error that we can realistically expect, so handle that
properly.

We have initTranslations() for binding an extension's
gettext domain, but nothing to help with using gettext
from an extension.
Such help would be useful though, as an extension that
calls textdomain() like a normal application would
inadvertently changes the default domain for the whole
gnome-shell process.
Instead, extensions have to use domain-specific versions
of the gettext functions:
```js
const Gettext = imports.gettext.domain('my-extension');
const _ = Gettext.gettext;
```
Make this a bit easier by adding those functions directly
to the extensions object when initTranslations() is called,
then expose helper functions for calling them.

Like the mutter 40.alpha.1.1 release, we missed adjusting to a
GSettings schema move from g-s-d to gsettings-desktop-schemas,
resulting in an abort on startup with the latest released
gnome-settings-daemon.
With the previous preparations in place, it is time to take the plunge.
As both the app and the portal use the same small library for handling
external windows, port everything at once to avoid the hassle of building
and installing two versions of the library.
With the portal using GTK4 now, all extensions must port their preference
widgets as well.

Unlike in previous GTK version (or Clutter), destroy() no longer
breaks reference cycles but just releases the reference held by
GTK itself.
So any reference we hold - either the explicit property or any signal
handlers that bind the window as `this` - prevents the window from
being disposed when closed, and the application won't quit.
Work around this by explicitly running dispose() on the window when
it is removed from the application.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1495>
GTK4 will remove the GtkHeaderBar:title property, so stop using it
and set the window's title property instead, as that's what headbars
use in both GTK3 and GTK4 unless explicitly overridden.

The man pages don't change very often, but draw in both docbook and
asciidoc. The latter is particularly problematic, as some distros
still ship only a python2 version of the tool.
Address this by generating the man pages at dist time, and including
the result in the tarball.

I messed up and released 40.alpha at the same time as 3.38.2, when it's
supposed to be in January. In order to re-align with the schedule, change
the upcoming version to 40.alpha2 so we don't have to skip a release and
will be back on track in time of 40.beta.
Currently there is no indication that an extension had an error except
for the sensitivity of the switch (which may have a different cause).
This is useful information to users, so add a small error indicator
alongside the updates icon and show the actual error in the details.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2337
Currently the switches handle position reflects the requested
extension state (as in: the user (de)activated the switch),
while the actual extension state is reflected by the underlying
state.
That doesn't work well when the switch is insensitive though (for
example on error), because the desaturation neuters the color
that reflects the state.
Address this by resetting the switch handle to the state when
making it insensitive.

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.

When creating an extension interactively, we currently always use
the default template unless the --template option is used.
Instead, display the list of available templates to the user and
prompt them to pick one if it wasn't specified.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/812
When we allow users to choose between different templates, we should
provide some context for each template to facilitate that choice.
Add that metadata in the form of a .desktop file, which allows us to
specify name and description, and is well supported by our translation
infrastructure.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/812
The template used when creating a new extension is intentionally
minimal, as the sample code in the old extensions-tool proved to
be annoying more often than not.
However as we support per-command options, we don't have to limit
ourselves to a single template, and can offer alternatives for
common use cases.
To prepare for that, namespace the existing template by moving it
into a subfolder.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/812
When using the create command's --interactive option, we prompt for
any metadata that wasn't passed on the command line. As every prompt
is preceded by a short multi-line description, it is hard to follow
when everything is lumped together.
Improve legibility by separating all prompts by newlines.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/812
Commit 4589da957 added D-Bus API for enabling/disabling extensions,
use that if possible to provide better feedback and not clutter the
settings with non-existent UUIDs.
The old code path is preserved as fallback to keep the commands
working from outside a running shell session.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2391
UninstallExtensions() only returns whether the operation was successful,
not why it failed. However we know that only user extensions can be
uninstalled, so check that first to provide a more meaningful error.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2391
For the prefs command, we first fetch the extension info to check
whether the extension exists and actually has preferences. This
pattern can be useful for other commands and properties, so split
out a generic helper function.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2391
Error reporting is useful when used interactively, but often undesirable
when used in scripts. Account for that with a common --quiet option,
which is more convenient than redirection stderr to /dev/null.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2391
Predefined categories aren't a great way for organizing installed
applications, but they have their use in "stores" like Software
or flathub.
Not listing any category means we fall through the cracks, so
pick the (hopefully) least inappropriate one ...

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!

We finally have everything in place for distributing the Extensions app
as flatpak without jumping through too many hoops. Add a manifest that
can produce a nightly build like other GNOME modules, and can serve as
a template for a stable manifest on flathub.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1133
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.
