Start using the new methods to simplify signal cleanup. For now,
focus on replacing existing cleanups; in most cases this means
signals connected in the constructor and disconnected on destroy,
but also other cases with a similarly defined lifetime (say: from
show to hide).
This doesn't change signal connections that only exist for a short
time (say: once), handlers that are connected on-demand (say: the
first time a particular method is called), or connections that
aren't tracked (read: disconnected) at all.
We will eventually replace the latter with connectObject() as
well - especially from actor subclasses - but the changeset is
already big enough as-is :-)

We have made good progress on object literals as well, although there
are still a lot that use the old style, given how ubiquitous object
literals are.
But the needed reindentation isn't overly intrusive, as changes are
limited to the object literals themselves (i.e. they don't affect
surrounding code).
And given that object literals account for quite a bit of the remaining
differences between regular and legacy rules, doing the transition now
is still worthwhile.

The code to highlight matches did not properly escape the passed in text
as for markup before adding its highlighting markup. This lead to some
search result descriptions not showing up, because their descriptions
contained characters, such as "<", that would have to be escaped when
used in markup or otherwise lead to invalid markup.
To work around this some search providers wrongly started escaping the
description on their end before sending them to gnome-shell. This lead
to another issue. Now if the highlighter was trying to highlight the
term "a", and the escaped description contained "'", the "a" in
that would be considered a match and surrounded by "<b></b>". This
however would also generate invalid markup, again leading to an error
and the description not being shown.
Fix this by always escaping the passed in string before applying the
highlights in such a way that there are no matches within entities.
This also means that search providers that escaped their description
strings will now show up with the markup syntax. This will have to be
fixed separately in the affected search providers.

repeatCount and autoReverse don't play well with animations disabled:
They cause password entries to wiggle themselves off-screen (by ending
up with some off-scale translation-x value).
While we should handle this more gracefully in the transition helpers,
it also makes sense to handle the case directly in wiggle(): As it
uses a chain of three transitions, we would still end up with a crude
one-frame-per-transition wiggle "animation".
Instead, do no animation at all as you would expect when animations are
disabled.

xgettext gained some support for template strings, and no longer
fails when encountering '/' somewhere between backticks.
Unfortunately its support is still buggy as hell, and it is now
silently dropping translatable strings, yay. I hate making the
code worse, but until xgettext really gets its shit together,
the only viable way forward seems to be to not use template
strings in any files listed in POTFILES.

Since the wiggle effect will be used by the redesigned prompt-dialogs
and we always want to use the same parameters, move those as defaults
for the wiggle function to the util.js file.

If the clock is set to 12h, the AM/PM in the weather forecast times
should be clear from the context, because they are the immediately
following hours. This makes it less likely that the times will be
ellipsized (in which case the AM/PM wouldn't be shown anyway.)

Since ES5, trailing commas in arrays and object literals are valid.
We generally haven't used them so far, but they are actually a good
idea, as they make additions and removals in diffs much cleaner.

ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redunant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.

The different units - seconds for Tweener and milliseconds for
timeouts - are not a big issue currently, as there is little
overlap. However this will change when we start using Clutter's
own animation framework (which uses milliseconds as well), in
particular where constants are shared between modules.
In order to prepare for the transition, define all animation times
as milliseconds and adjust them when passing them to Tweener.

While we aren't using those destructured variables, they are still useful
to document the meaning of those elements. We don't want eslint to keep
warning about them though, so mark them accordingly.

Braces are optional for single-line arrow functions, but there's a
subtle difference:
Without braces, the expression is implicitly used as return value; with
braces, the function returns nothing unless there's an explicit return.
We currently reflect that in our style by only omitting braces when the
function is expected to have a return value, but that's not very obvious,
not an important differentiation to make, and not easy to express in an
automatic rule.
So just omit braces consistently as mandated by gjs' coding style.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/608
We are currently inconsistent with whether or not to put a space
after catch clauses. While the predominant style is to omit it,
that's inconsistent with the style we use for any other statement.
There's not really a good reason to stick with it, so switch to
the style gjs/eslint default to.

ES6 finally adds standard class syntax to the language, so we can
replace our custom Lang.Class framework with the new syntax. Any
classes that inherit from GObject will need special treatment,
so limit the port to regular javascript classes for now.

The author of the original URL-matching regex warns[0] that the pattern may
cause certain regex engines to lock up with certain input, namely patterns
that contain parentheses. It turns out SpiderMonkey is affected, but rather
than switching to the author's improved version (that is still crazy), sim-
plify the pattern a bit by removing support for nested parentheses in URLs.
Even a single pair of parentheses is extremely rare, so this is unlikely to
make a noticeable difference (other than not locking up SpiderMonkey of
course) ...

When not using arrow notation with anonymous functions, we use Lang.bind()
to bind `this` to named callbacks. However since ES5, this functionality
is already provided by Function.prototype.bind() - in fact, Lang.bind()
itself uses it when no extra arguments are specified. Just use the built-in
function directly where possible, and use arrow notation in the few places
where we pass additional arguments.
