Thanks to recent gjs changes - namely the ability to promisify
interface prototypes and promise-based D-Bus wrappers - we can
modernize the ContentTypeDiscoverer API to use an async function
instead of a callback.

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.

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 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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/805
Some more places where the indentation doesn't comply with either
the old or new style. They slipped through because the legacy eslint
configuration accounts for some patterns by plainly ignoring certain
nodes. We'll address that later, first fix up the indentation errors.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/725
We currently use no less than three different ways of indenting
object literals:
let obj1 = {
foo: 42,
bar: 23,
};
let obj2 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23 };
let obj3 = { foo: 42,
bar: 23
};
The first is the one we want to use everywhere eventually, while the
second is the most commonly used "legacy" style.
It is the third one that is most problematic, as it throws off eslint
fairly badly: It violates both the rule to have consistent line breaks
in braces as well as the indentation style of both regular and legacy
configurations.
Fortunately the third style was mostly used for tween parameters, so
is quite rare after the Tweener purge. Get rid of the remaining ones
to cut down on pre-existing eslint errors.

We can use that newer method where we don't care about the actual position
of an element inside the array.
(Array.includes() and Array.indexOf() do behave differently in edge cases,
for example in the handling of NaN, but those don't matter to us)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/152
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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/361
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.

Any symbols (including class properties) that should be visible
outside the module it's defined in need to be defined as global.
For now gjs still allows the access for 'const', but get rid of
the warnings spill now by changing it.

Commit 39a840e2c3 added an additional parameter to shell_app_launch().
When adjusting callers, the parameter was also added accidentally to
calls of the confusingly similar g_app_info_launch() ...
Remove those to fix some warnings.

And adapt existing callers to the new API. This will allow us to
implement a way to launch applications on the discrete GPU for systems
where an "Optimus" system exists.

Builtin chat and network notifications already follow the notification
policy of appropriate applications, it makes sense to do the same for
autorun notifications to give users control over hotplug notifications
in Settings.
There is nothing particularly critical about this notification, it
was only marked as such to get certain behavior like auto-expanding
and sticking-around to be acknowledged by the user (as it offers
more actions than the summary notification, so it is frustrating
when it goes away because it was missed).
As all notifications will now stay visible until we are sure the
users has seen them, the latter reasoning no longer applies.
Auto-expansion doesn't appear too important and may even be considered
annoying by users, so remove the CRITICAL hint now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657923
Hotplug notifications use custom notification banners to include
application icons in buttons. Bring those back by providing an
appropriate createBanner() implementation.
When we will start to show notifications in the date drop-down, we
will not use the actual notification actor, but construct our own UI
based on Calendar.Message. This is similar to what we already do in
the lock screen, except that in this case clicking the notification
should activate the default action.
So rename the existing _onClicked() method to activate() to make it
clear that such use is acceptable. While not strictly necessary, also
rename the corresponding signal to match.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744817
According to the design, hotplug notifications should no longer offer
an eject action and use regular notification buttons (but using icon
and text), the default action when clicking the notification itself
is to launch the file browser.
Also as the corresponding resident notification is gone, it no
longer makes sense to make the notification transient.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744815
The new notification system will no longer give access to actions
from the notifications list, so a notification that is never
displayed as banner does not make sense here.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744815
The code that checks for various conditions is confusing and
undercommented. It appears one of the recent refactorings
inadvertedly inverted the sense of the 'hidden mountpoint'
check, and caused autorun to not work for anything that does
not have a 'native root' - which is pretty much all volumes
implemented by gvfs.

Gnome session started to track the session's active state a while
ago, so use that instead of our own ConsoleKit/logind abstraction
in LoginManager.

Allow message tray sources to provide a NotificationPolicy object,
that will configure how and if the source is displayed. For notification
daemon sources, this object is hooked to GSettings.
