We want to replace gjs' custom (and now legacy) imports system
with standard EcmaScript modules: JS developers are already
familiar with them, they have better tooling support and using
standard features over non-standard ones is generally the right
thing to do.
Our D-Bus services are separate from the main process, and thus
can be ported separately (except for the few imports that are
shared with the main process' code base).

The REPLACE flag we currently pass is useless, as replacing the service
is disallowed when not started with the ALLOW_REPLACEMENT flag.
Fix this by adopting a more standard pattern where replacement is always
allowed, but only actually requested when `--replace` is passed on the
command line.

If something started the service, but crashed before managing to make a
method call, we'd end up with the service running indefinitely. Fix this
by queueing a shutdown check immediately on startup.

While we only shut down after a method call completed or (if the
interface has signals) the sender disconnects from the bus, services
may need to inhibit auto-shutdown for more specific reasons themselves,
for example when a method call kicks off an operation that should
complete before shutting down.
Add hold() and release() methods like Gio.Application for those cases.

There are a couple of D-Bus services that are currently provided by
gnome-shell for which it makes sense to move them fully or partially
into separate processes:
- screen recording (performance)
- FDO notifications (security)
- Extensions (portalization)
Add some base classes and build system glue to take care of the
common boilerplate.
