Applications launched using D-Bus activation will have a returned PID of
0, which systemd interprets as moving the requesting process to a new
scope, causing GNOME Shell to be moved to another scope. Fix this by not
creating a systemd scope when PID is 0.

It's slightly more efficient not having to do property lookups. While
that is unlikely to be a concern for the properties in question, it's
still good practice and makes the code base a bit more consistent.

We'll likely have to interact a bit with the newly added Meta.Context
object, so add a convenience property that gives us direct access
instead of getting it from the display every time we need it.

`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 g_file_replace_contents_async() API can potentially call fsync() from
the thread calling into it upon completion. This can have disasterous
effects when run from the compositor main thread such as complete stalls.
This is a followup to 86a00b6872 which
assumed (like the rest of us) that the fsync() would be performed on the
thread that was doing the I/O operations.
You can verify this with an strace -e fsync and cause terminal to display
a command completed notification (eg: from a backdrop window).
This also fixes a lifecycle bug for the variant, as
g_file_replace_contents_async() does not copy the data during the operation
as that is the responsibility of the caller. Instead, we just use a GBytes
variant and reference the variant there.

As per GNOME/mutter!385 [1], the compositor is finalized an its pointer
cleared on display close.
However, since the shell reacts to such events instead of controlling them,
when the shell is stopping or restarting and its display closing, the shell
stage destroys its children after the display closing is finished and during
this process the focus is unset, causing focus_actor_changed() to be called
and thus calls to meta_stage_is_focused() which deferences the now NULL
compositor, leading to a crash on shutdown.
Since after this point we should just ignore any stage event, disconnect
from them all.

An Endless OS system was found in the wild with a malformed
.local/share/gnome-shell/notifications. When deserialized in Python,
after passing trusted=True to g_variant_new_from_bytes(), the first
element of the first struct in the array looks like this:
In [41]: _38.get_child_value(0).get_child_value(0)
Out[41]: GLib.Variant('s', '\Uffffffff\Uffffffff\Uffffffff\Uffffffff\Uffffffff')
When deserialised in GJS, we get:
gjs> v.get_child_value(0).get_child_value(0)
[object variant of type "s"]
gjs> v.get_child_value(0).get_child_value(0).get_string()
typein:43:1 malformed UTF-8 character sequence at offset 0
@typein:43:1
@<stdin>:1:34
While g_variant_new_from_bytes() doesn't have much to say about its
'trusted' parameter, g_variant_new_from_data() does:
> If data is trusted to be serialised data in normal form then trusted
> should be TRUE. This applies to serialised data created within this
> process or read from a trusted location on the disk (such as a file
> installed in /usr/lib alongside your application). You should set
> trusted to FALSE if data is read from the network, a file in the

Persistent state is read from the user's home directory, so it should
not be trusted. With trusted=False, the string value above comes out as
"".
I don't have an explanation for how this file ended up being malformed.
I also don't have an explanation for when this started crashing: my
guess is that recent GJS became stricter about validating UTF-8 but I
could be wrong!

In `st`, we can do this by using `ST_PARAM_*`. In the other code files,
just use `G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS` directly.
This is just a minor convenience to prevent a few unnecessary string
copies.

If the state we're trying to delete does not exist, do not log an
error.
Prevents this journal warning at startup:
gnome-shell[1082]: Could not delete runtime/persistent state file: Error removing file /run/user/1000/gnome-shell/runtime-state-LE.:0/screenShield.locked: No such file or directory

This is an expensive operation that is best avoided in the main loop. Given
the call doesn't care much about returning error or status, it can just
be made async within.
Every operation on a given file will be destructive wrt previous
operations on the same file, so we just cancel any pending operation on
it before batching the current one.

All callers have been updated to use MetaSoundPlayer. This drops direct
usage of libcanberra-gtk, and the X11 connection indirectly. One thing
worth noting is that we pass less metadata (eg. event x/y that might be
used for surrounding effects). This was all largely unused, so the
MetaSoundPlayer was made simpler.

GSettings now recognizes per-desktop overrides that can be used
to change schemas' default values for a particular desktop. This
is not entirely unlike our existing custom override mechanism in
mutter, except that it is not limited to keys in org.gnome.mutter,
and it doesn't require a separate schema - the latter means that
we (and gnome-teak-tool) no longer have to figure out the correct
schema for the current login session and just use the original one.

Remove any usage of MetaScreen, as it has been removed from libmutter
in the API version 3. The corresponding functionality has been moved
into three different places: MetaDisplay, MetaX11Display (for X11
specific functionality) and MetaWorkspaceManager.
