We currently wait until we got a connection to NetworkManager.
That's possible because the old PanelMenu indicator API takes
a menu, so it is possible to add or remove items dynamically
later.
That won't be the case with quick settings, where `quickSettingsItems`
is a plain array that is only read once when adding the indicator.
Prepare for that by moving section initialization into the constructor.

Now that wi-fi devices will be handled by a separate menu toggle
instead of as part of a combined system menu, there is no longer
a need of delegating network selection to a separate dialog.
To keep the menu from growing too much, the (sorted) list of
displayed networks is kept at a limit of eight. There is always
Settings for a complete list…

In terms of UI, this means that in the common case where we have
a single (or no) connection, the device can be represented as a
single menu item rather than a submenu.
But more importantly, all our menu items inherit from the same
GObject class now, so we can use bindings where appropriate.
This will later extend to quick toggles as well.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
The class implements a menu item that contains a section which
can be collapsed into a submenu.
It is very common for network devices to only have one associated
connection, so hiding away a single item in a submenu is fairly
inconvenient.
This class will address this, by only using a submenu when it is
actually needed.
Although the main issue it addresses is that menus (including
sections) aren't GObjects. This gives us a GObject that can
be added to a menu, and that can itself contain other menu
items.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
The class only provides the GObject properties that are currently
defined by NMConnectionItem, plus a way to set the active connection
that should be used for the item's :is-active state.
Its sole purpose is to provide a shared base for both device- and
connection items, and to have that base be a GObject so we can
start linking properties via bindings rather than manual fiddling.

Let's keep things simple and use the same appearance regardless
of the number of configured VPNs. Also unlike for device items,
every connection item in the VPN section is a toplevel item, so
there isn't a real need for different presentations.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
The NMConnectionSection class is used - surprise - to manage a
list of related connections. And while the presentation of VPN
items is slightly different from connections associated with
devices (switches vs. ornaments), it makes perfect sense for
the VPN section to share the nitty-gritty with the base class.
But…
Right now it is perfectly fine for NMConnectionSection to be
used both as a child element in a device section, and as toplevel
item of the VPN section. Any nesting of sections is entirely
transparent to the user, and all connection sections appear as
submenu items in the toplevel menu.
That won't work for quick settings.
There's no PopoverMenuSection that allows invisible grouping, so
adding items dynamically would either need to happen at the end,
or require some tricky cross-component code to impose a particular
order.
And last but not least, quick toggles are very much unsuited for
a potentially large number of items. The whole point is to provide
quick direct access to system features, not to compete with menus
over the number of items they can hold.
That is, we need to get from the current state where each device
appears as a toplevel item, to a state where we have one quick
toggle for each device type plus one for VPN.
The decoupled VPN section still behaves largely as it did as a
subclass, with the notable difference that it no longer uses
a submenu item, so all VPN connections now appear at the toplevel.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Right now the indicator itself tracks all devices and connections,
creates and destroys the corresponding menu items, matches them
to a section and updates the connection/device arrays that are
attached to the section.
Sounds messy?
It is slightly less effective to connect multiple handlers to the
same NMClient, but let's assume that devices and connections aren't
added/removed at 60 frames/s, and we can add some readabilty by
moving the code into different classes that only have to care about
the bits that are relevant to them.
The VPN section is a good starting point, because its handling is
already quite different from device sections.

At its core, it's the sort order tracking from NMConnectionItem
with a bit of sugar on top to provide access to the ordered items
and the ability to provide a custom sort function.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
You could argue that the item name is closer to what is displayed
to the user, but it doesn't really matter: Connection items will
always use the connection ID when there is more than one, which
is the only case where sorting matters.
However sorting by items will allow us to generalize the code, and
use it for items that do not represent a connection.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
When not in radio-mode - that is, when the connection is the only
connection for its device - we want the item to represent the
device as a whole.
Achieve this with a small ConnectionItem subclass that adds a
:device-name property for that purpose.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
When not in radio-mode - that is, in the single-connection
case - the item currently uses a plain 'Connect' label.
That is OK while the item is inside a submenu that describes
the device, but we will soon stop using a submenu when a single
item can describe the device as a whole.
Prepare for that by adding an icon that is shown when in non-radio
mode, and include the device name in the label in that case.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2407>
Newer versions of IBus (> 1.5.26) have the IBUS_CAP_OSK capability
which can be used to hint the active IM about an OSK driving input as
opposed to a physical keyboard. This may be used by IMs to tweak their
behavior to suit OSKs better.
Add the GNOME Shell side handling for this capability, and toggle it
on whenever the OSK is visible.
Since this is a far too new enum value and we don't want such new
IBus dependency, this change plays fast and loose with JS guarantees,
since a logical OR with an undefined value results in the other operand
unmodified it will work for older versions where the capability does not
exist and thus we want nothing extra enabled.

We are calling _loginScreenSessionActivated() even in cases where this is
not required. For example, there are cases where the Active property is
already `true` and properties like `IdleHint`, `IdleSinceHint` and
`IdleSinceHintMonotonic` change. In this cases _loginScreenSessionActivated()
is called and will reset the authPrompt when not necessary.

We do want to update the best AP on strength change, in case we
can switch to a better one.
But even if we can't and the AP is unchanged, the icon should
be updated to reflect the change.

Only when part of it is actually visible.
Because the central rectangle is generally the largest part, this
eliminates most of the shadow's render time. For example, animating
`.workspace-background` by tapping Super, the shell's overall render
time is reduced about 15%.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1915>
There's no visible change here since we're just moving from the
default transparent black to transparent other. But the latter can
be used as a special value to indicate to the rendering code when a
background is expected to be always occluded.

Right now DeviceCategory is a small section wrapper that shows
a summary instead of its content if it contains too many items.
It will eventually eventually turn into the base class for
network device quick toggles. Who would have thought that
when it was added for the "there's a computer with 32 ethernet
cards" fringe case?!
For now, give it a more appropriate name and use device types
instead of our made-up categories, now that the two map neatly.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
It's odd to swap out a switch with a status label, and the
information isn't that helpful to begin with: It's either
transient (connecting, deactivating, ...), or too little to
be meaningful (unknown, failed, ...).
We're also perfectly happy to not show it in "label mode"
(i.e. when there's just one VPN).
Just get rid of it.

Stop providing detailed state descriptions, instead use a name
that best represents the device at the moment (like a wifi SSID,
the carrier name, or the device name as determined by network manager).

The _devices property is another case of overloading the
"device" term.
Fun fact:
this._devices[device._delegate.category].devices
uses three different meanings of "device" (section, NM.Device, item).
The devices array in sections won't be around for much longer,
but the property that tracks the sections is worth renaming.
While at it, use a map instead of a plain object, which has a
guaranteed order when iterating (which will come in handy later).

Different access points can belong to the same wireless network. As
NetworkManager doesn't handle this for us, we need to track networks
ourselves, and we currently do this using ad-hoc object literals and
monkey-patching.
Clean this up by factoring out a proper WirelessNetwork class, and
associate them to items with a map.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
Interpreting the different flags is better left to the domain
experts at NetworkManager. It is also much more likely that
NM's own functions will handle newly added flags than our own
code.

There is a straight mapping between running/enabled and visibility,
so bind them instead of using a signal handler.
_syncConnectivity() is called both from _syncMainConnection() and
on connectivity changes, which should cover any running/enabled
changes.
That just leaves updating the icon on state changes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
We would want the signals to be disconnected if we ever happened to
destroy the indicator. Even if we don't, connectObject() is simply
nicer when connecting half a dozen handlers at once.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
There is only one case where we show a notification: When activating
a connection failed.
There is therefore no reason for a generic wrapper around the
notification API. Likewise, tracking the source is a bit pointless,
given that the notification is transient. In fact, as we destroy
an existing notification *before* checking for the source, any
previous source will be gone by that point.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
The function is a handler for the `notify::state` handler, so
the state and reason parameters used in the checks are always
undefined.
In addition, `DEACTIVATED` is not (just) a failure state. We
clearly don't want to complain about a failed connection when
the change happened on request of the user.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2406>
We never used it, so after more than ten years, it seems safe to
assume that we never will.
Plus different items pass different types, which makes it pretty
much impossible to use, even if we wanted to (which apparently
we don't 🤷️)
