The Frequent apps grid has a few problems:
* On a fresh install there would be no history of app usage so the
applications shown in the grid have no relevance it takes time
to be useful instead of being useful from the start;
* The grid has far too many items in it to be relevant; 24 apps is
well beyond the average use case as most people don't frequently
use that many, so it gets populated with several apps that are
single use (hello xterm);
* The position of items in the grid are always changing based on an
unknown frequency metric (and not by user-intended input) which
makes it a poor way to quickly launch apps as one would have to
constantly learn the positions of the items in the grid;
* Having two app grids is a bit superfluous and needlessly complicates
the app launching navigation: you have to spend time checking the
frequent grid and if it's not there you have to switch over to another
grid and find the app you need in there it's not straightforward.
Remove the Frequent tab and simplify the related code.

StButton returns CLUTTER_EVENT_STOP in various circumstances, but
AppIcon throws that away and returns CLUTTER_EVENT_PROPAGATE even
when it should stop.
Return the parent class' result instead of CLUTTER_EVENT_PROPAGATE.

Translations are provided by .directory files, so trying to look
up a category name without the suffix will always fail.
Commit 343b3351f1 tried to fix this previously by changing the
saved keys, but that broke existing translatable folders.
Appending the .directory suffix for the lookup instead fixes the
issue without regressing non-custom folders.

Right now, the actor hierarchy is such that the scroll view
does not contain the actual grid. It looks as follows:
StScrollView
↓
StBoxLayout
↓
ShellStack
↓ ↓
PaginatedIconGrid StWidget
This hierarchy can be slightly reorganized by changing it to be as
follows:
ShellStack
↓ ↓
StScrollView StWidget
↓
StBoxLayout
↓
PaginatedIconGrid
This will simplify future work where the PaginatedIconGrid will be
an implementation of StScrollable, in which case we'll be able to
simply remove the StBoxLayout from there.

Filter the apps shown on the desktop and in search results according to
whether they are blacklisted by the user’s parental controls.
This supports dynamically updating the filter during the user’s session.
This adds an optional dependency on libmalcontent. If that’s unavailable, no
parental controls filtering will occur.

A promisified method expects the callback parameter to be either
a function (in which case the original method is called normally)
or omitted altogether (in which case a Promise is returned).
The call to open application details in Software does neither and
passes null instead, which will result in a warning (because no
function argument means a promise will be used, but not omitting
the parameter means we end up with too many arguments).

In some situations we could end up not with lingering 'view-loaded'
handler. This could result in delayed spring animate-in being initiated,
e.g. after a minute after the activities overview was already closed.
Fix this by removing any lingering signal or later handlers when
unmapping.

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!

Starting the animation from the actor 'paint' signal has various
unwanted consequences, such as sometimes trigger a
clutter_actor_queue_relayout() during the paint phase. One unwanted
consequence was that an offscreen actor effect was disabled during
painting, meaning the effect would begin being active, but later during
the post-paint processing being disabled. The caused said effect to push
an offscreen framebuffer to the paint context, but then just destroy it
instead of popping it. When this happened, we'd end up trying to operate
on a framebuffer that may had been finalized, or not, depending on the
garbage collector. Sometimes, for some users, this caused a segmentation
fault when trying to pop a matrix from the framebuffer matrix stack.
Deal with this more properly, by using the 'view-loaded' signal to wait
with animation until the view is loaded, as well as using MetaLater to
schedule the start of the animation.
For when a view was signalled to be ready, we're in a state where we can
start animation before the next frame as the layout is ready, but when
not, we have to add back the "hack" where we must wait for one frame for
the target icon positions to be up to date. Do this by adding a
MetaLater IDLE callback that starts the animation *after* the next
frame. This also needs the old 'opacity = 0' work around to not show an
incorrect first frame.

The text is part of the entry, so it is surprising that it can
still be edited when the entry itself isn't reactive. Address
this by setting up a binding instead of expecting all consumers
to handle the case themselves.

Instead of adding a dragMonitor for every icon in the grid as soon as
one icon is getting dragged, only add a dragMonitor for the icon that is
currently being dragged over (ie. the current drag-target). With a large
number of icons in the iconGrid, this should significantly reduce lags
while dragging.
We can do this by detecting the DnD-entering of an icon or folder using
the `handleDragOver()` callback of drag-targets, adding the dragMonitor
because we know an icon is hovering above the drag-target and then
detecting the DnD-leaving of the drag-target by using the `dragMotion()`
handler, where we remove the dragMonitor again as soon as the
targetActor is no longer our actor (ie. the drag-target).
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/849
While it should be impossible to destroy a FolderIcon while a DnD action
is still going on, there might still be rare cases where this happens
(ie. when a folder is removed because an app got deleted during DnD).
So make sure we're on the safe side here and don't potentially leave
dragMonitors around after the icon is destroyed by removing the
dragMonitor inside the onDestroy handler of the FolderIcon, just like we
do for AppIcons.

This caches GAppInfo so that the compositor thread does not have to perform
costly disk access to load them. Instead, they are loaded from a worker
thread and the ShellAppCache notifies of changes.
To simplify maintenance, ShellAppCache manages this directly and the
existing ShellAppSystem wraps the cache. We may want to graft these
together in the future, but now it provides the easiest way to backport
changes to older Shell releases.
Another source of compositor thread disk access was in determining the
name for an application directory. Translations are provided via GKeyFile
installed in "desktop-directories". Each time we would build the name
for a label (or update it) we would have to load all of these files.
Instead, the ShellAppCache caches that information and updates the cache
in bulk when those change. We can reduce this in the future to do less
work, but chances are these will come together anyway so that is probably
worth fixing if we ever come across it.

Since the FolderViews are not connected to the "installed-changed"
signal, we need to reload their apps by calling _redisplay() when an app
is removed or installed. We can't connect to "installed-changed" inside
FolderView because we need to ensure _redisplay() of the FolderView is
called before AppView tries to access the apps of the folder inside
_refilterApps(). So reload the FolderViews inside AllViews _redisplay()
implementation to ensure everything is up to date before accessing the
apps of the folder.
Since the "apps-changed" signal of FolderIcon now indirectly triggers a
_redisplay() of the FolderViews, the 'changed' handler of FolderView is
now redundant and can be removed. Because of this, we also need to move
the emission of the "apps-changed" signal to the start of the signal
handler to make sure the view is updated before we try to access items
of the view.

The _redisplay() function is usally used for subclasses of BaseAppView
which want to implement their own _redisplay() function, having that
function name in two classes which have nothing to do with BaseAppView
can be quite confusing. Make those names less confusing and call the
functions _sync() and _rebuildMenu() instead.

The viewBox has a border applied, so when we call adaptToSize using only
the content box of the container, the width of the border is not removed
from the content box and the grid will be allocated less space than what
we told it before using adaptToSize.
Fix that by adjusting the content box for the size of the viewBox, too.
This makes sure the correct amount of columns can be shown inside a
folder, since right now we only show 3 colums even though 4 would fit.

Now that the bind constraint changes the preferred size of
the actor, a major flaw in the AppDisplay code was exposed:
the folder dialog depends on the preferred size of a parent,
and the parent depends on the preferred size of the folder
dialog.
While we know this is not actually true, we shouldn't rely
on broken behavior to achieve this result. What's interesting
is that the bind constraint used by the folder dialog is a
relic of the development phase; we now control the position
and size of the dialog with a combination of CSS, and alignment.
Remove the unnecessary bind constraint.

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.

So as to guarantee the unmapped state sticks and doesn't get toggled
back to mapped before we return.
Being in a mapped state when `FolderIcon.vfunc_unmap()` returned was

Since both the `_items` object and the `_allItems` array include the
same items, the difference between those variables seems unclear. The
real difference between them (except the different data type) is that
`_allItems` is ordered in the same order as the visible grid, so rename
`_allItems` to `_orderedItems` which makes that more obvious.
