The perf scripts that can be used to script the gnome-shell UI
for testing are sufficiently separate from the rest of the code
base to allow porting them to ESM modules before the rest of
the code base.

gjs now has an internal mainloop that it can spin to resolve
module imports. That loop uses the thread default context,
so its possible that other sources, namely from mutter, get
dispatched when iterating the context. If that happens before
mutter is properly initialized, this will lead to a crash.
GjsContext needs to iterate its internal mainloop when initializing
to resolve internal modules, to avoid iterating Meta's mainloop and
triggering events before Meta is ready we will initialize the Shell
global and thus the GjsContext (js_context) before Meta.
Once GjsContext is initialized, we can call meta_context_setup().
Once Meta is setup and started, we'll run init.js which uses GJS'
internal promises API to set a "mainloop hook". The mainloop hook
is run immediately after the module returns so GJS will not attempt
to iterate the main loop again before exiting.
Also adjust the 'headlessStart' test to not wait for the
MetaContext::started signal, as that signal has now already
been emitted when the code is executed.

GJS added a console module that extensions may start using. To ensure that
extensions using console.log() and similar functions don't show up as
'Gjs-Console' in users' system logs, we should call setConsoleLogdomain()
with 'GNOME Shell'.
This GJS API addition is only accessible using ECMAScript Modules (ESM),
this commit moves shell startup to a small init.js module and adapts
CI jobs to either handle or ignore it.
We can drop the .jscheckignore file when future versions of SpiderMonkey
allow for compile checks without validating module specifiers.
